WANTED : BEN, L.G.O

Last seen : ICE facility (for naughty foreigners), Skykomish, WA

Crime : Communist Agitation (professing that free public healthcare is not a Marxist plot to overthrow the capitalist world order)

The public is advised not to approach this dangerous fugitive. He is believed to be attempting to evade justice by fleeing south along the Pacific Crest Trail. He may be identified by an orange jumpsuit, increasingly unkempt appearance, and propensity for posing for photographs.

Having staged a daring and, some may say, narratively convenient, escape from an ICE prison transport heading to the notorious “Bear Bunker” (every state is now required to have a prison surrounded by their most fearsome predator, other than Nebraska as corn just isn’t very intimidating), Lego Ben is once again at large. With a characteristic lack of seriousness, he has been posing for photos along the way.

If our luck holds, he may make it to the Oregon state line where false papers, fresh clothing, and freedom await!

Free once more!
The getaway
So far for such tiny legs…
A momentary Instagram pause to catch our breath
Out greatest hope lies in stealth. Through the valley of the Lillipution trees
Although there is always time to stop and smell the flowers

  1. Very interesting. I think it could be called graphic flash fiction (just guessing). If you get very bored, I wonder if you could film it.

  2. Ben,
    I had no idea you were doing this till I tried to contact you on Teams and you were gone haha. This is awesome! Good luck man. I am doing a section of the Colorado trail (Silverton to Durango) from August 8-18th and then fly directly to Glasgow for Planning haha I will be toast! Anyway keep trekking

  3. Du bist wieder in guter Gesellschaft! Freundschaft gibt es ja eigentlich nur beim Boxen oder im Knast. Aber auch wenn die Bären kommen: Nimm nie seine Handschellen ab. Die Tiere werden sich mit ihm befassen und er kann Dich nicht hintergehen… Vielleicht wirst Du im ICE Ersatz finden. Hier in Schland ist alles beim alten. 🙋‍♂️ iss am Trout lake eine Forelle für mich mit.
