    Asia Ferguson waited. The lights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were coasters in the park. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Dad were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
    Asia was a hat wearing nigga for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the coasters and he said to dad "I want to be on the coasters daddy."
    Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY COASTERS"
    There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the park at the base of the coaster he knew there were coasters.
    "This is DAD" the radio crackered. "You must fight the coasters!"
    So Asia gotted his hat and climbed up the wall.
    "HE GOING TO KILL US" said the coasters
    "I will shoot at him" said the coaster and he fired the a line of cars. Asia nigged at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were trapped and not able to kill.
    "No! I must kill the coasters" he shouted
    The radio said "No, John. You are batman"
    And then John dead.
