The Riding Mower Dads hovered at the very edge of their lush green lawns, the air around them filling up with the grumble of an idling engine and the think fug of petrol fumes. Their eyes were hidden beneath the brim of their identical white bucket hats, but their mouths were set in a thin, tight line.

In the centre of the road, far from whirring blades and the well-aimed kicks of passing legs, the dogs sat. Tongues lolling, teeth exposed in a mocking canine grin. The Riding Mower Dads knew what came next. The dogs knew too.

All waited.

The rows of large houses on large lots stood dark against the rising sun, uncurtained windows staring blankly at her like the gaze of some huge, uncomprehending beast of concrete and whitewash.

The Riding Mower Dads were always up by now, the grinding, whining roar of their shiny red mowers waking wives and children who must surely wish them dead every weekend.

Maybe the city had finally passed that "shut the fuck up" by-law. Maybe those coiffed wives in their Sunday best had poisoned their husbands in an attempt to get some peace.

Or maybe she'd slipped out of time...

"Don't feel too bad for that guy," Dash advised. "I know him from tending bar at the Lodge. Lousy tipper, mean drunk."

He gestured at the t-shirt. "He's not even on the Loyal Order's bowling team," he said. "Just wears that because he thinks it makes him look cool."

He shook his head in disgust.

"Oh, well then," said Janet, with withering sarcasm. "What a monster. I guess he deserved a venomous kelpie bite."

"All I'm saying," said Dash, "Is that Eerie won't miss one more lawnmower-riding jackass who thinks he knows more about corn whiskey than he actually does."

Billy Millions stared out of the clubhouse window at the tarmac'd parking lot below, and shook his head.

"What are they doing?" he asked, of no-one in particular.

Gnomey sighed and took a long pull of his beer.

"I think they're trying to intimidate us because you told the Eerie Enquirer that the only biker gangs in town were us and those elementary schoolers who ride tricycles and wear weird little felt caps."

"Well, we are," said Billy.

Gnomey looked at the riding mowers currently circling outside.

"I guess the men of our local Home-Owners Association disagree," he said, shrugging.
