I’ve always been sympathetic to people who have suffered tragedies. A word and a touch can mean so much to those who have lost a loved one.
I’m learning now it can also be uncomfortable. My wife was killed in a hit and run five days ago, and here I stand in this crowded funeral home, getting hugs and condolences from friends and family.
My wife’s brother says, tearfully, “I hope they find the bastard that did this real soon.”
I say, also tearfully, “I know, man. I hope so too.”
Inside, I am thinking, I sure as hell hope not.
Very well-constructed take with a twist.
I meant ‘tale’ not ‘take’. More haste less speed.
Oh, that came out of nowhere! Just like a hit and run…
wow, scary in a good way
Haha, nicely done!
That was AWESOME! It made me laugh and creeped me out at the same time!!!
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I really appreciate them.
Nice job, good ending.
