BLACKOUT BELL #1

Description

Many years ago, on a cold December night, a grumpy old motorcyclist was returning from a trip to Mexico with his saddlebag full of toys and other trinkets for the children of his city. About 40 miles north of the border, in the desert, was hiding a small group of creatures, the “Evil Spirits Road”, evil spirits who live on motorcycles. They love to be transported but enjoy littering the road surface with small obstacles such as shoes, wooden planks and pieces of old tires to undermine the safety of motorcyclists. Not happy, they are also responsible for most of the small mechanical problems. When the “Evil Spirits Road” heard the roar of the biker’s Harley approaching, they took position around a bend and ambushed him, causing him to fall onto the asphalt. As the motorcyclist lay there, unable to move, he saw the strange spirits approaching. He then began to throw the toys out of the bag at the creatures. Finally, having nothing else to strike them with, he took the small bell that was left on the ground and began to ring it in the hope of scaring them. Half a mile away, camped in the desert, there were two bikers sitting around the fire talking about the day they had just had. In the stillness of the night sky they heard the sound of what seemed to them to be a church bell. Rushing to that call, they found the old motorcyclist lying along the side of the road with the “Evil Spirits Road” ready to jump on the bike. United by their biker brotherhood, the two men managed to scare the gremlins away and save the old motorcyclist. Grateful for their help, the old man offered them a reward but they refused it. Not wanting to let that good deed go unnoticed, the old man cut two pieces of leather from his saddlebag and with them tied a bell, as close to the ground as possible, on each of the motorbikes of his new friends. With those bells, he told them, they would be protected from the evil street spirits. The purpose of the Guardian Bell The “Evil Spirits Road” are the mischievous elves who live on motorbikes, love to be transported but are also responsible for small malfunctions. The “Evil Spirits Road” cannot live in the presence of the bells, because they become trapped in their cavity. Their hearing is also very sensitive and the constant ringing of the bell drives them mad. The sprites lose their grip and fall onto the asphalt. Have you ever wondered how potholes form? Having a bell, a Guardian Bell on your motorbike, allows you to chase away evil spirits. If the bell was given to us by a friend, the power doubles knowing that, somewhere, there is a special friend who took care of us!
