Homer Simpson was going about his usual task of the day. Heading into work. But he had a ritual he had to complete first.

"Thanks again Apu." He called to the store owner as he left the establishment. He bought a box of doughnuts as he usually does, but since today was his 100th purchase he got a free squishiee with it. A deal too good to pass up.

He had difficulty juggling all the items at the same time. He shifted the doughnuts into his left arm, then placed the bag of snacks over them. He squeezed his Squishee in beside it most likely crumbling his chips.

But now he had enough range of motion to reach into his right pocket and pull out his car keys. Which he did until he realized nothing was in them.

"Huh?" He looked down to his inside out pocket to see nothing. As he shifted back he heard the jingle of his car keys close by. In his left pocket."DOH!"

He repeated the same motion, this time into his right arm and reaching into his left pocket.

Now with keys in hand he was free to open his car door and continue about his day. He opened the door and pushed himself into the driver's seat placing his chips and doughnuts into the vacant seat next to him. With his Squishee in the cup holder he put his keys into the ignition, his care into drive and left the parking lot.

Before he hit the road he opened the box of doughnuts and began eating. Triple chocolate glazed. With one big chomp he devoured half it, crumbs falling onto his white shirt and pants.

"OH!" he let out." I LOVE THIS SONG!" He reached down with chocolate covered fingers to raise the volume to it's highest." AND THAT MAKES YOU LARGER THAN LIFE!" He sang.

But then suddenly his car shot upright. Shooting Homer up into and hitting his head against the roof.

"DOH!" he groaned as he rubbed his head. he act had caused him to drop his doughnut to the floor, his drink split all over the car." DOH!" He let out again. Grinding his teeth he looked in his rear view mirror." What the heck could have-"

He looked back to see a little red animal laying in the road." Oh, poor little guy." He shook his head sadly." Better to put him out of his misery." He shifted his gears and began driving in reverse. Once more his car bounced up and then down, signaling he'd hit the animal." Once more for good measure." He said as he shifted back into drive."

And for a third time his car bounced up and down. But something else happened.

"Alright." Homer said feeling his good deed for the day was done." Now it's time.." He looked to his watch. It read '10:36'. He was supposed to be at work at '8:00'." Time for work." He said casually, almost unaware of the time.

He put his foot on the gas and drove off. It could him a few seconds but he realized he was driving in front of the same stop sign, blue house and street,

'"Huh?" He said applying more gas but nothing changed." What the?" Then he heard a sound greater than the growling of his engine. He poked his head out of the window to a strange sight.

His car was being held several feet in the air. Two big gloved hands digging into it's side, and an angry face looking up at him.

"AHH!" Homer squealed. He slammed his foot as hard on the gas as he possible could. That seemed to have done the trick as the car began to shake and rumble. So much so until whatever was holding him up let go!

Then it was Homer Simpson doing 95 threw a school zone.

"HEHEHE!" He laughed." So long suck-AHH!" He screamed once more as he looked in his rear view mirror to see whatever it was running after him and gaining fast.

Homer was forced to put the pedal to the metal and drive faster. When he glanced back in the mirror he saw it was gone. Relief was only for a second as he looked left to see it right next to him, purple eyes staring back at him.

"AHH!" He screamed. One big, gloved hand reached out and grabbed him by the throat."GAH! GAH!" Homer choked.

"You, No good, son of a-" it said to him.

"So." Homer growled." You wanna play rough do ya?!" He grabbed him by the arm, holding him in place. He pressed his foot harder to the gas and kept going.

He spun the wheel and drove onto the sidewalk. Hitting Knuckles into a stop sign, breaking it in two. Next a mail box forcing the mail to go everywhere.

"AH! AH!" Knuckles groaned with each hit.

"HAHA!" Homer laughed. He spun the wheel now in the opposite direction, cutting around a sharp corner and hitting Knuckles against a bus stop."HEHE!"

But then Knuckles shot his hand up and grabbed onto Homer.

"Is that all you've got!" He yelled. He swung his other arm forward and punched him in the face.

"DOH!" Homer yelled as his head spun around. Knuckles put his body half-way threw the care. With one hand on Homer's shoulder the other cocked back for another punch.

Homer pressed his hand against Knuckles' face trying to push him out the window.

His car was starting to steer out of control now. Into oncoming traffic, threw a school zone. But now came the worst of all.

Towards the tire fire.

The two continued to push and struggle against eachother. Knuckles bent on causing more pain to Homer while the man tried to defend. But in their struggle

Homer noticed something Knuckles didn't.

Behind the little red ball of murder he saw the tire fire fast approaching. And with speed they were going he couldn't move out of the way... but he had a better idea.

He reached up and grabbed Knuckles by the shoulders with both hands.

"See you in Hell little man!" He pushed him into the back seat while at the same time pushing open the door and jumping out.

Homer hit the soft ground and looked up. Looked up just in time to see his car disappear into the smoke and flames of the tire fire.

"Eh!" He groaned standing to his feet and stretching." That was one hell of a morning." Now to head into work."

Though now he would have to get their on foot. But it was no big deal, the power plant was just around the corner.

But little did Homer know that his little red foe was right behind him.
