Here it was almost a month before Christmas and I had no spirit at all. Christ, I had always had bully Xmas intent loved to give rather than receive. This year I had nothing, all my tiddler were scattered, me and the wife had parted ways not in a thoroughly way, though we were still married. I figured what the hell, without them it just was n't Dec 25 or hell for that matter a life, I just wanted to end it, life history to me did n't finger worth living anymore, on-key I might be reading more into it than there was. I looked around the bureau was I a Coward ? Was I really that weak ? Huh guess I was, walking out I still had n't decided how to end it. Laughing a moment I really was a coward, not a gun, too gimcrack, car ? No too painful and might not work too many survived.

I had called all my children but of track they had their own life story so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. Hell, I just wanted to wish well them well, hoped they had a good holiday with their family. The last contribution I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were busy and I really did n't want to involve up all their time. Hell, I 'd even test to see my grandson to no avail. So I left the part having already fallen into a cryptic depression.

I walked maybe a mile, had turned off the tick path finally coming to bar on an old alloy bridge. I knew the water would sweep my soundbox away as fast and heavy as it was flowing. Looking around I started to wax up the railing when there was a splash, looking down I saw a man flailing in the water.

'' Help ! HELP ! '' The man shouted, jumping in I swam to him bringing him to the shore. A twosome of police force police officer appeared a few minute of arc later and took us to a local shelter. There they began to question the man, then just left as suddenly they just left slapping me on the back calling me a hero. Ok, that was odd they never left that fasting without investigating a lot Thomas More than they had.

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

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

'' You 're lucky he jumped in to make unnecessary you after you fell in. '' Another protection man who 'd heard the news report said.

'' Oh, I did n't fall in I jumped in, to make unnecessary George here, stopping him from committing suicide '' Clarence said a huge smile on his face.

The shelter man stopped a mo daze on his face, then opened his mouth to say, `` Oh but it 's against the law to give felo-de-se 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 heaven ! I 'm his guardian angel. '' Clarence said.

The tax shelter man fell out of his chair a facial expression of cushion and disbelief on his face as he quickly fled the scene.

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

'' True, true, '' 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 appease ? ``

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

'' That 's another affair how the hell do you cognize 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 holy man specifically YOUR guardian Angel. ``

Nodding my capitulum this was a bit a good deal to study from a man I 'd just saved from drowning, `` Uh huh yeah, you sure you 're ok ? You did n't bump your chief did you ? You need a doctor ? ``

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

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

'' Ah ! Angel 2d stratum, I do n't receive me wings yet, I have to gain them. You my beneficial 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 give away down, used up, old man, ai n't good for aught much now a days. If anything I 'd get you an express trip to the early place. `` Bout the only thing 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 wife, your youngster or your Grandchild would be upright off if you were suddenly do you ? '' Clarence said a look of horror on his face.

'' Ah ! '' I said, `` you 're right it 'd probably be in effect if I was never born. ``

'' Oh, you must n't say ... '' Clarence started, then looking up, `` say that 's not a bad idea what do you think ? Hmmm yeah alright, that ought to do it. Ok George, ya got your want, you 've never been born. '' At those speech a huge wind blew the door assailable stirring everything up creating a peck. `` Show off ! '' Clarence shouted.

Getting up I helped Clarence pick up the mountain, `` fountainhead I said, I best be going I have a business to run. ``

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

'' Sure, '' I said, `` they might be able 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 occupation in. Something was off where were all the position ? Why was there just a huge way with midget cubicles in it.

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

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

'' That 's rummy, '' the woman smirked, `` John the Divine Benjamin Thompson owns this building and you most definitely do n't look like him. I am building security, now you 'll have to leave, this is a smut editing house and your mien here is disturbing everyone. I suggest you leave before I throw your ass out ! '' The woman shouted.

'' What ? ! '' I said in unbelief standing there in cushion as several expectant men walked up and literally threw us out the door ! Lying on the slope walk I brushed my wearing apparel off, stood and walked back in the door only to come flying back out a second later.

I started to enter a third time when the char walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your actions have already alerted the local authorities they should be here in a few proceedings, if you 're still here then, you 're going to lag. '' With that she shut the room access in my case and locked it.

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

'' No it is n't, '' Clarence said, `` you were never here to buy it or to force the smut industry out on the outskirts of the city. ``

'' What ! ? '' I yelled as we started to walk away down the street. `` No I was there, I saw them all pack up and make a motion. ``

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

Looking at Clarence I must give been obtuse 'cause I did n't get word a unity countersign he was saying.

'' No, '' I said, `` It just some kind of magic trick, look here comes Burt one of my best admirer. ``

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

'' Come on Burt stop performing you know I live at 21 Sycamore, total on take me home. ``

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

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in front of a broken down condemned house, George V ran from the cab in the front man broken door. `` Kyd ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could see him shouting through out the building. A moment later the police officeholder pulled up.

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

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

'' Not sure as shooting Tom, think this guys a addlehead spouting all sort of stuff and nonsense, especially that I knew him, never seen the guy in my living. ``

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

'' Ok buddy you 've had your fun time to go, this place is n't safe been condemned, '' the police officer told me. `` We need to get you to a hospital 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 for certain what the hell was going on. `` Look Tom, can we go to my mother 's ? She can vouch for me ok ? '' I asked Tom.

'' sure as shooting, '' he said, `` then we 'll get you to the hospital, you obviously have had some character of head harm. ``

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

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

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

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

'' Mother ? Who are you ? Is this some character of pale trick ? I ai n't got any youngster my lonesome son died a few twelvemonth ago in front of the school, a drive by. I do n't lie with you from disco biscuit. '' The annoyed woman said.

'' Mother it 's me George, your son, I was just with your brother 2 hr 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 drunk and disorderly conduct. If you want a room it 's money up front. '' She growled at me, then slammed the door in my aspect. I could only stand there my mouth opened feeling like an idiot, what in the underworld was up ? I knew a joke like this could be done but not on this scale, and to possess my mother involved to this extent ?

I walked to the end of the walk Tom the cop was there, `` Alright buddy you 've had you 're chance, time to go in. '' Pulling out a set of script cuffs I watched without moving, 'til he was right upon me then I sprang. Catching Tom with a surprisal uppercut I watched him pass then lit out the antonym direction.

Groaning he rose pulling his six-shooter, `` stop ! '' I heard him shout, then his gun lighting over my head. Running, twisting turning through every back street way I could I soon lost him, though I knew it was only a matter of metre before they located me. Finally stopping in a parkland not far away I waited for night to fall.

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see George I ? No one knows you, you were never born to make booster with them. You were n't there when Tom graduated from police academy. ``

'' I know what this is you 've hypnotized me, I 've heard about masses who have this unattackable of a mind to make people think and do matter they normally wo n't. '' I accused Clarence.

Sighing Clarence looked up and shook his point, `` you really do n't get it do you George ? You might not think that you 've done much but each man and charwoman leaves a mark, a overtaking if you will upon all those whose life 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 endowment to actually see what the world would be like without you in it. ``

'' A giving ? '' I stated, `` Thomas More like a horrifying sophisticate, insane incubus. ``

'' No George IV it 's aught like that you have ... '' Clarence started.

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

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

'' Tell me damn it ! or so help me I 'll flesh out your lip, '' I threatened.

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

'' WHERE ! '' I shouted.

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

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

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

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

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

I lit out of there, the crowd was starting to look ugly and they were starting to stare at me. I ran back to the park, then kept going before I knew it I was at the Lapplander bridge again I could find the rip streaming down my face.

'' CLARENCE ! CLARENCE Can you see me Clarence ? ! I want to know, I do n't want it to end this way. Please I want to live ! I want to experience ! Please Clarence, please. ``

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

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

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

'' I said g ... hold you called me George II ! '' I said suspiciously.

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

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

'' hoot George III you ok ? You hit your pass ? You need a Doctor ? '' Tom asked worry etched on his face.

'' No Tom ! '' I shouted with Joy. `` I 'm delicately ! as a matter of fact I am salutary than okay ! ``

'' well I was supposed to separate you that your kids have called to a greater extent than a few times about you. Something about you never returned their sound calls. '' Tom advised me.

Thanking him I took off for townsfolk, Yes ! This was the town I lived in ! There were thriving commercial enterprise here, no porn theater, no bars just the townsfolk I remembered.

I was finally back to my construction, strangely enough there was a gang 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 staff, in fact it appeared to be almost every person I knew in the town. Huh, disappear for a little piece and they all come out of the Ellen Price Wood work.

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

darn I thought when had she take this damn hot for me ? Watching her walk back to the others I could smell her sex juices on my hired hand. Inhaling the perfume I thought she had an awful decent ass, shit I had almost missed it ! Looking up I winked and mouthed thank you Clarence, I most definitely wanted to dwell now !

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

My daughter and son came to select me to her house, though I really did n't want to see her I knew my wife would be there. Promising them I would be polite I went and actually enjoyed my ego. In the back of my mind I knew I had at to the lowest degree 5 other 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 Vanessa Stephen ring.

'' Grandpa, I heard that every time a bell rings an Angel Falls gets it 's annex. '' He said.

smile I nodded, `` that 's flop, '' I said looking up, `` 'at a boy Clarence, 'at a boy ! ''
