"Johnny Was A Vandal" - a "Five-minute Freewrite"

Johnny was a vandal. He walked around town with a big black sharpie in his pocket--ready for action whenever the opportunity presented.

Hello... here's my freewrite for the prompt vandals, as per @mariannewest's post seen here: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-174-5-minute-freewrite-wednesday-prompt-vandals. This is a rather odd one (not that that's something new... Though perhaps I'm just starting to realize it :/). Anyway, enjoy!

"Johnny Was A Vandal"

Public rest rooms were his favorite: the dirtier the better.

He liked to try and find the cleanest part of the dirtiest stall; and it was there he "did his business."

His tag, that is--

(What were you thinking?)

By his graffiti, Johnny was known as Casper. It was after a character in some movie; this crazy dude from the movie, Kids (1995) written by Harmony Korine.

In the film, Casper rapes a young woman named Jenny, who had passed out on the couch at a party in New York City.

Little did the rapist know, but Jenny had actually found out just earlier that day that she was HIV positive, having contracted the disease from a previous encounter.

"Casper, the friendliest ghost, the friendliest ghost in the whole wide world..." the character bellowed during one scene, while lying in a bathtub fully clothed.

Johnny liked to quote this line-- especially when he, too, happened to be in a bath.

He pulled off to a Pilot truck stop--the kind with pay-by-the-minute showers--just a way down Highway 41.

Then, with his black marker out: he began to draw.
