Here it was almost a month before Dec 25 and I had no intent at all. the Nazarene, I had always had great Christmas spirit loved to give rather than receive. This year I had zip, all my children were scattered, me and the wife had parted fashion not in a good way, though we were still married. I figured what the Hell, without them it just was n't Christmas or hell for that matter a life history, I just wanted to end it, life to me did n't feel Worth living anymore, true I might be reading more into it than there was. I looked around the office staff was I a coward ? Was I really that fallible ? Huh guess I was, walking out I still had n't decided how to end it. Laughing a moment I really was a Noel Coward, not a gun, too loud, car ? No too unspeakable and might not work too many survived.

I had called all my baby but of course they had their own life so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. Hell, I just wanted to like them well, hoped they had a good holiday with their families. The last part I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were busy and I really did n't require to take up all their time. Hell, I 'd even tried to see my grandson to no help. So I left the office having already fallen into a rich depression.

I walked maybe a mile, had turned off the beaten itinerary finally coming to stop on an old metallic element bridge circuit. I knew the water would sweep my body away as fast and leaden as it was flowing. Looking around I started to go up up the railing when there was a dab, looking down I saw a man flailing in the water.

'' avail ! assistant ! '' The man shouted, jumping in I swam to him bringing him to the shore. A couple of police officers appeared a few minutes later and took us to a local shelter. There they began to wonder the man, then just left as suddenly they just left slapping me on the back calling me a torpedo. Ok, that was odd they never left that fast without investigating a lot more than they had.

Looking over at the 50-55 twelvemonth old man stooped over the bed I had to ask, `` you ok there uh ... fellow ? ``

'' It 's Clarence, '' He replied. `` Yes, I am o.k.. '' I stared at the old really old underwear that the man was putting back on his body.

'' You 're lucky he jumped in to hold open you after you fell in. '' Another tax shelter man who 'd heard the story said.

'' Oh, I did n't fall in I jumped in, to save George here, stopping him from committing self-annihilation '' Clarence said a vast smile on his face.

The shelter man stopped a moment electrical shock on his nerve, then opened his back talk to say, `` Oh but it 's against the law to commit self-destruction here. ``

'' I know it 's against the law where I 'm from, '' Clarence said.

'' Oh ? Where 's that ? '' I said looking up, finally I was n't cold.

'' Oh, ah paradise ! I 'm his guardian backer. '' Clarence said.

The protection man fell out of his chairwoman a look of shock and disbelief on his grimace as he quickly fled the scene.

'' Now wait, '' I said, `` you jumped in to preserve me ? Seems like it 'd be leisurely to just step up and say hey do n't do it ! Do n't you mean ? ``

'' True, honest, '' Clarence replied, `` but then again would you really have listened ? Besides it saved you now did n't it ? ``

Laughing I said, `` say uh ... Clarence you got anywhere to go or stay ? ``

'' No George I, I 'm fine. '' He chuckled.

'' That 's another thing how the hell do you lie with my name ? '' I looked at him suspiciously. `` You some kind of stalker or something ? ``

'' No, I 'm nothing like that, '' Clarence cheekily said, `` I 'm an Angel specifically YOUR guardian holy man. ``

Nodding my head this was a bit very much to take from a man I 'd just saved from drowning, `` Uh huh yeah, you sure you 're ok ? You did n't encounter your principal did you ? You need a physician ? ``

'' No, '' Clarence chuckled, `` I am Clarence Oleman, AS2 at you service. ``

'' AS2 ? Huh, '' I said. `` Just what exactly is an AS2 ? ``

'' Ah ! Angel back year, I do n't have me annex yet, I have to earn them. You my adept man, are going to help me. '' Clarence replied happily.

'' ME ? Oh no, no, no I think you got the wrong man. I 'm just a broken down, used up, old man, ai n't sound for cypher much now a daylight. If anything I 'd get you an express trip to the former topographic point. `` Bout the only affair I 'm good for anymore is screwing up. Besides it might be embarrassing for you to be seen with me. '' I told Clarence believing every word.

'' Oh, you do n't believe that your married woman, your children or your Grandchild would be better off if you were dead do you ? '' Clarence said a tone of revulsion on his face.

'' Ah ! '' I said, `` you 're powerful it 'd probably be better if I was never born. ``

'' Oh, you must n't say ... '' Clarence started, then looking up, `` say that 's not a bad estimation what do you think ? Hmmm yeah alright, that ought to do it. Ok George I, ya got your wish well, you 've never been born. '' At those words a huge jazz blew the door open stirring everything up creating a messiness. `` appearance off ! '' Clarence shouted.

Getting up I helped Clarence pick up the mess, `` Well I said, I best be going I have a clientele to run. ``

'' I would n't be so certain George IV, '' Clarence said. `` Mind if I tag along ? ``

'' indisputable, '' I said, `` they might be able-bodied to get you set up with something at the store. '' I told him.

We walked for a while then entered the building I had my business in. Something was off where were all the offices ? Why was there just a Brobdingnagian room with lilliputian cubicles in it.

A woman walked up to me, `` I 'm dark sir but you do not belong here, you 'll let to leave. ``

I looked at the woman, `` just who are you ? I own this construction and I do n't remember hiring you. ``

'' That 's funny, '' the woman smirked, `` John Thompson owns this building and you most definitely do n't look like him. I am building certificate, now you 'll have to leave, this is a porn editing menage and your comportment here is disturbing everyone. I suggest you leave before I throw your ass out ! '' The fair sex shouted.

'' What ? ! '' I said in disbelief standing there in cushion as several enceinte men walked up and literally threw us out the doorway ! Lying on the side of meat walk I brushed my clothes off, stood and walked back in the threshold only to amount flying back out a arcsecond later.

I started to embark a third sentence when the woman walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your actions have already alerted the local regime they should be here in a few minutes, if you 're still here then, you 're going to immure. '' With that she shut the doorway in my face and locked it.

'' That 's my building, '' I said.

'' No it is n't, '' Clarence said, `` you were never here to buy it or to coerce the porno industry out on the outskirts of the urban center. ``

'' What ! ? '' I yelled as we started to take the air away down the street. `` No I was there, I saw them all pack up and move. ``

'' No George you were n't. '' Clarence repeated. `` You were n't here to start the orison, or carry the engagement to the metropolis council George, because you were n't born ! ``

look at Clarence I must have been dense 'cause I did n't hear a single discussion he was saying.

'' No, '' I said, `` It just some sort of magic trick, aspect here comes Cyril Burt one of my best friends. ``

wafture down the cabbie he stopped, `` Yeah pal where ya going ? ``

'' Come on Burt cease performing you know I live at 21 Sycamore, fare on take me place. ``

'' Yeah, yeah right keep your shirt on ! '' We pulled out and the cabbie passed a police car drawing the military officer 's attention and waving at me then doing a crazy sign.

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in front of a conk out down condemned house, George II ran from the cab in the front fail door. `` nestling ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could get wind him shouting through out the edifice. A moment later the police force officer pulled up.

'' They are n't here, '' Clarence said, `` drive you were never born to have them. '' I just stared at him like he was crazy.

'' Yeah, what you got Cyril Lodowic Burt ? '' the officer said.

'' Not sure Tom, think this guys a loon spouting all kinds of material, especially that I knew him, never seen the guy in my life. ``

'' Alright, I 'll check it out Cyril Burt, '' The officer said.

'' Ok buddy you 've had your fun time to go, this place is n't good been condemned, '' the policeman told me. `` We need to get you to a infirmary you appear to be stressed out really bad. come on out of there before I have to arrest you for trespassing ! ``

I came out not really sure what the sin was going on. `` Look Tom, can we go to my mother 's ? She can vouch for me ok ? '' I asked Tom.

'' Sure, '' he said, `` then we 'll get you to the hospital, you obviously have had some case of head word trauma. ``

'' Sure, sure, whatever you say, '' I said to try and placate the man.

We drove to the early side of townspeople, downtown I could see that it was almost all porn theaters, BAR, with half of the edifice boarded up and closed, what the hell was going on ? This was one of the most active areas of the town, but here I saw almost half was closed, was I in the wrong town ?

Finally we stopped in social movement of a boarding house. Huh ? That was n't right field where was mother 's house ? Knocking on the threshold I sighed in relief when my mother answered the door.

'' Mom, you have to let me in the worldly concern has gone crazy I ... '' I started

'' mother ? Who are you ? Is this some type of upchuck antic ? I ai n't got any Thomas Kyd my merely son died a few years ago in front end of the school day, a drive by. I do n't have sex you from Adam. '' The stung womanhood said.

'' female parent it 's me George V, your son, I was just with your chum 2 hours ago. '' I said.

'' Oh yeah ? Where ? '' She asked cautiously.

'' Why right here, '' I replied.

'' That 's a lie ! My brother is in county lock-up for inebriate and jumbled conduct. If you want a room it 's money up front. '' She growled at me, then slammed the door in my grimace. I could only stand there my mouth open feeling like an idiot, what in the hell was up ? I knew a joke like this could be done but not on this scale, and to have my mother involved to this extent ?

I walked to the end of the manner of walking Tom the cop was there, `` Alright chum you 've had you 're probability, clock time to go in. '' Pulling out a set of hand cuffs I watched without moving, 'til he was aright upon me then I sprang. Catching Tom with a surprise uppercut I watched him fall then lit out the opposite direction.

Groaning he rose pulling his revolver, `` stay ! '' I heard him shout, then his gun kindling over my nous. track, twisting turning through every bowling alley way I could I soon lost him, though I knew it was only a matter of meter before they located me. Finally stopping in a parking lot not far away I waited for Night to fall.

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see George ? No one knows you, you were never born to take a crap friends with them. You were n't there when Tom graduated from law academy. ``

'' I know what this is you 've hypnotized me, I 've heard about people who have this secure of a mind to pass water mass call up and do things they normally wo n't. '' I accused Clarence.

Sighing Clarence looked up and excite his head, `` you really do n't get it do you George ? You might not think that you 've done much but each man and woman leaves a mark, a loss if you will upon all those whose lives they touch. I am surprised a man as intelligent as you has n't seen all this for what it really is. You 've been given a wonderful gift to actually see what the humans would be like without you in it. ``

'' A gift ? '' I stated, `` more like a horrible twisted, insane nightmare. ``

'' No George VI it 's nothing like that you have ... '' Clarence started.

Grabbing Clarence by his shirt I stared straight into his centre. `` I have to know Clarence, I have to know, where 's my married woman, she might hate me but at least she 'd see past the insanity of all this. ``

Struggling Clarence tried to break free, `` I 'm not allowed to tell ... ''

'' Tell me damn it ! or so serve me I 'll fatten your lip, '' I threatened.

'' I ca n't George V if I do ... '' Clarence sputtered.

'' WHERE ! '' I shouted.

'' She never married she 's an old bitter adult female, she cleans at the hospital. She 'll be off in an hour ! '' Clarence shrieked, as I dropped him on the grass.

I started running for the other position of townspeople I 'd barely make it. I had just got there when I saw some of the faculty leaving, `` Jane ! '' I yelled to get her attention. Startled, I saw her dash away in the opposite direction.

'' Jane ! '' I called as she took off even faster. Finally downtown I managed to get her. `` Jane ! Do n't you bed me it 's St. George ! ``

I felt a husky arm Yankee me from her, `` hey pal you disturbing the Lady ? '' can a husky voice.

'' Disturbing ? No, that 's my married woman ! '' at which point in time Jane let out a scream and passed out.

I lit out of there, the gang was starting to look ugly and they were starting to stare at me. I ran back to the parking lot, then kept going before I knew it I was at the Saame bridge again I could feel the teardrop streaming down my face.

'' CLARENCE ! CLARENCE Can you hear me Clarence ? ! I want to live, I do n't want it to end this way. Please I want to dwell ! I want to hold out ! Please Clarence, please. ``

A present moment later a car stopped behind me on the bridge, `` George ? George ! '' I heard Tom the cop say.

Turning I warned, `` go on get out of her Tom before I flatten you again ! ``

'' St. George buddy, you ok ? Everyone 's been worried about you since you walked out earlier today. '' Tom said.

'' I said g ... time lag you called me St. George ! '' I said suspiciously.

'' Yeah well that 's your name after all. '' Tom said slowly.

'' You mean you know me Tom ? '' I asked.

'' darn George VI you ok ? You hit your top dog ? You need a doctor ? '' Tom asked headache etched on his face.

'' No Tom ! '' I shouted with Joy. `` I 'm fine ! as a matter of fact I am upright than all right ! ``

'' fountainhead I was supposed to tell you that your fry have called more than a few times about you. Something about you never returned their telephone set calls. '' Tom advised me.

Thanking him I took off for town, Yes ! This was the town I lived in ! There were thriving business here, no pornography business firm, no bars just the town I remembered.

I was finally back to my edifice, strangely enough there was a bunch in front, that and the fact that they

seemed to be waiting for something or someone. As I drew closer saw it was far more than my stave, in fact it appeared to be almost every individual I knew in the town. Huh, disappear for a minuscule while and they all come out of the wood work.

A young woman I 'd had my eye on for a while was the foremost to see me, `` Oh Saint George ! '' She shouted as she ran up to me and threw her arms around me. `` You scared me to dying ! I was afraid you were gone for sound ! Without me giving you your present. '' Here she slipped my hand into her gasp to show she had naught on under her pants. Pressing into my hired hand I heard her gasp then she pulled back and blinked.

Damn I thought when had she set about this shucks hot for me ? Watching her walk back to the others I could smell her sex juice on my hand. Inhaling the perfume I thought she had an unspeakable nice ass, dump I had almost missed it ! Looking up I winked and mouthed thank you Clarence, I most definitely wanted to live now !

That 's when I saw several of the other women giving me and my genital organ the once over, the pits yeah !

My daughter and son came to call for me to her firm, though I really did n't want to see her I knew my wife would be there. Promising them I would be civil I went and actually enjoyed my self. In the back of my judgement I knew I had at least 5 former invitations, all of them to one bed or another. While we were eating my grandson ran up and hugged me then turned as he heard a bell ring.

'' Grandpa, I heard that every metre a ship's bell rings an Angel Falls gets it 's wing. '' He said.

Smiling I nodded, `` that 's aright, '' I said looking up, `` 'at a boy Clarence, 'at a boy ! ''
