The Strange Tale of the Piggyback Bandit

Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society: The Strange Tale of the Piggyback Bandit

Somewhere in that hazy grey area between late night and early morning, I stumbled across a gem of an article written by Bryan Curtis over at Grantland and found myself instantly captivated by the mischievous and creepy antics of a man deemed The Piggyback Bandit. This bizarre but true story follows the exploits of a loner with aspergers syndrome who traveled the country by Greyhound seeking the nostalgic joy of piggyback rides. By force. Banned from entering five states, and trespassed by countless schools, will the Piggyback Bandit ever stop helping himself to uninvited piggyback rides from unsuspecting high school athletes? Read the full story here, you won't regret it.
