The sun didn¡¯t come out. The 15 ¨C year ¨C old girl Razeena said goodbye to her mother and left for school. She was thinking about the coming Christmas and 41 the holiday lights at the nearby senior citizens¡¯ apartment 42 she noticed some smoke through the door.

So she pounded up and down the stairs, weaving through the smoke and heat to 52 more people. ¡° Take my arm,¡± she told the extremely 53 residents. Her eyes burned and flames were hissing (˻˻Éù) louder. Finally, she led the last person out. 54 stood on the side walk, dazed and crying. ¡°Thank you so much,¡± they told her over and over, ¡° Without you, we never would have 55 .¡±

It was a cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George and Marie Winston drove through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the Harrisons, where they were going to attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the Harrisons' daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, which was playing classical music.

They were about five miles from the Harrison¡¯s house when the music on the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: "The Cheshire police have issued a serious warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening. The man, John Downey, is a murderer who killed six people before he was captured two years ago. He is described as large, very strong and extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire' area are warned to keep their doors and windows locked, and to call the police immediately if they see anyone acting strangely.¡±

Marie shivered. "A crazy killer. And he's out there somewhere. That's frightening.¡±

"Don't worry about it,¡± said her husband. "We're nearly there now. Anyway, we have more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for some reason ¨C it must be that old problem with the engine. If it gets any worse, we¡¯ll have to stay at the Harrisons¡¯ tonight and get it fixed before we travel back tomorrow.¡±

As he spoke, the car began to slow down. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely. Just as they stopped, George pulled the car off the road, and it came to rest under a large tree,

"Blast!¡± said George angrily. "Now we'll have to walk in the rain.¡±

"But that'll take us an hour at least,¡± said Marie, "And I have my high-heeled shoes and my nice clothes on. They'll be ruined!¡±

"Well, you'll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons. Someone can come out and pick us up," said George.

"But George! Have you forgotten what the radio said? There¡¯s Homicidal maniac out there! You can¡¯t leave me alone here!¡±

"You'll have to hide in the back of the car. Lock all the doors and lie on the floor in the back, under this blanket. No one will see you. When I come back, I'll knock three times on the door. Then you can get up and open it. Don't open it unless you hear three knocks," George opened the door and, slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the blackness.

Very tired, she fell asleep. Hours later, she heard the sound of three or four vehicles, racing quickly down the road. All of them pulled up around her, their tired screeching on the road. At last! Someone had come! Marie sat up quickly and looked out of the window.

The three vehicles were all police cars. Several policemen leapt out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the hand.

"Get out of the car and walk with me to the police vehicle. Miss! You're safe now. Look straight ahead. Keep looking at the police car. Don't look back. Just don't look back.¡±

Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She could not help herself. About ten yards from the police car, she stopped, turned and looked back at the empty vehicle.

George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck.

Actually, DOA, CIA, FBI, IRS, AOL, TNT, HBO, AAA, WCW, NBA, NFL... and the like are more than just abbreviations. Many Stock Exchange symbols have three letters as well. Each one is a TLA¡ªa three-letter acronym (Ê××ÖĸËõÂÔ´Ê).
