Letter - Is this me?

Or have I been resurrected as the character with the small cloud hanging over his head?

I acquired a scooter in September last year, a machine that I could travel 20 Kms on one charge of the battery. It failed me on a trip from Menzies St. through Beacon Hill Park to Cook Street.

I took it back to Doug. And it failed again. It happened again and again. Recently he had it for ten days with no explanation while I waited day after day. When I eventually asked about the delay, he delivered it and demonstrated that it could indeed reach 8 kms per hour. I took it back only to realize the mirrors were missing. He denied vehemently that there had ever been any.

When I revealed that my scooter was covered in logos, and this one had none, it was discovered: yes, mine was still in the shop. At last, I got it back and it had mirrors. Without apologising, Doug left. This is just one of my cloud inspired deeds.
