Bridget, a hospice patient, startled the staff by using a dating app. Without mentioning hospice, she wrote, “Short-term relationship highly desired with man attracted to the unexpected.” Albert, looking for a “carefree romp,” figured he had found his match. After arriving at the residence and eyeing ‘Pleasantville Hospice’ on the front door, he stopped dead in his tracks and wanted to sprint back to his car. But break a promise? No. As he neared Bridget’s room, he thought from her deep sighs he was too late. He was, but not because of dying. A male nurse had succumbed to her charms.
Brilliant!
LOL! Loved and appreciated the thought. Your delivery and timing were perfect.
unexpected! very good….
I liked “stopped dead in his tracks.” So he didn’t need a hospice after all! Jerry
That’s the way! Humor paid back with more humor.
Yes! Yes! And yes! I have cancer and by God’s Grace this will be me!
Thus life-affirming feelings such as romantic attraction can occur in the unlikeliest of settings, like those sea creatures that form in the very murkiest of the ocean depths.
Great idea, superb execution.
This is great. Thank you!
