To my relief, there was going to be a highly anticipated boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield on TV that night. This was a long -…

    by Rebecca Moreno The TV signal came back, and the fight continued. In this round, Tyson was hit by a combination of punches and staggered. Fortunately, the ropes saved him from falling. Just then, the round ended. The stranger stood up, looked at the clock on the wall again, and said, "Now you can call the police.
