His job was to take the word “God” out of the newspaper. He liked to press things against his chest and pretend he was having sex. He worked by a window with no weatherstripping. Every winter, he nearly died. Then even that was no longer fun. He wrote wonderfully ominous postcards to his friends back East. (no, farther east than that) They wrote back in quick jots that said the same in reply. Last night he tried something different; he fell asleep before completing the task. He learned what laughter meant when he didn’t wake. Dead, he saw his life for the first of many times. |

I always look forward to reading your writings, as they make me think. I like this one because most of us go through life totally lost.......until one day we wake up dead.....maybe then we learn the answers.  Write on! -<--<--{(@ |
