The Next and Only Big Thing in Perthville: Tree Surfing
The sport of surfing is associated with a huge adrenaline rush. This applies whether the surfing is in the ocean or atop a moving train.
Perthville’s list of train surfers is ever-growing. The Bodyguard is adept at it, and seems to escape the attention of the authorities when he train surfs. The Paparazzi is part of the train surfing club, but was apprehended and then banned from riding in, on, or under trains altogether.
Undaunted by the rail ban, the Paparazzi has taken to climbing trees near rail lines.
She says this is for the purpose of taking photos of the intercity train. But it’s obvious the real reason is that surfing is in her blood, and she is addicted.
If you can’t train surf, then tree surfing is the next best thing, isn’t it?
It’s the only thing, in actual fact.
