The landscape was a warm sienna and stretched out almost completely flat toward the horizon. What mountain peaks there were jutted sharply toward the yellow, water-color sky in jaggedly stacked configurations of rock, like oddly formed pyramids that defied gravity. Cacti dotted the desert like victims of either a stickup, or Egyptian wall art, and an abstract configuration of clouds, shrubbery, and rock formations completed the picture.
But what made the scene strangest of all was that it was not real - and neither were the five people who appeared in the middle of this silent desert. The bright colors all indicated that this - and they - were cartoons.
The sound of an engine in the distance suddenly rose and soon it appeared as a speck growing closer, a cloud of dust in its wake. A brown truck stopped beside the group, ACME painted on the side in large yellow letters. The driver - a short man with a bottle-brush mustache - didn't bother to get out, just handed them an envelope. Inside was a letter, and as they began to read, a cultured voice narrated aloud all around them.
"Dear Sirs and Madames:
"Having spent the greater portion of my life in pursuit of a an accomplishment which has proven fruitless, and I now find has taken a significant toll on both my physical health and my emotional well-being, I have decided to retire from my geococcyxian enterprises and take my respite in less arid climes.
"Whilst I winter in windy Wisconsin, it is now up to you to devise the most clever plan you can concoct to ensnare that insidious roadrunner, so that when I return, I may enjoy the comforts of my desert home in peace. You may utilize the ACME corporation for all your supply needs, I have an account there (remember to get a receipt).
"Good luck, watch out for safes, anvils, and painted tunnels.
Yours sympathetically,
Wile E. Coyote
P.S. - If you do catch him, please put the carcass in the subzero in my basement. I should so like to eat him."
