That river in Egypt
He decided that he just had to take it. Sure it was technically on somebodies property, but it was just their lawn... it's not like he was taking it from their porch or anything. Who cared about 5 pieces of rebar anyway? He sure did. And apparently so did the owner. As Damocles grabbed up his latest find, he heard a loud shout from behind him.
"HEY YOU!"
He froze, this had never happened before.
"GET OFF MY LAWN!"
Damocles' legs ran while his body stayed in place, a circular blur of rotation. Once there was a trail of smoke forming, his feet found traction and he was instantly gone. He ran with the speed of a coyote chasing a roadrunner, straight off the yelling man's lawn and across the street. He looked back and in horror saw that the old man had given chase and wasn't far behind!
"GIVE ME BACK MY REBAR"
Damocles was too invested at this point to simply give it back. The man could surely find some more on some other person's lawn right? Damocles spotted a house filled with people, there must have been a party starting or something. He flew through the door, dodged the crowd as he ran and got lost somewhere in the house.
