Here it was almost a month before Christmas and I had no tone at all. Christ, I had always had great Christmas Day spirit loved to give way rather than have. This twelvemonth I had nothing, all my tyke were scattered, me and the wife had parted ways not in a good way, though we were still married. I figured what the hell, without them it just was n't Xmas or hell for that affair a life, I just wanted to end it, liveliness to me did n't feel worth living anymore, true I might be reading more into it than there was. I looked around the government agency was I a Sir Noel Pierce 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 Noel Coward, not a gun, too tawdry, car ? No too afflictive and might not forge too many survived.

I had called all my children but of course they had their own lives so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. Scheol, I just wanted to wish them well, hoped they had a in effect holiday with their syndicate. The last part I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were meddlesome and I really did n't want to call for up all their clip. Hell, I 'd even try to see my grandson to no avail. So I left the office staff having already fallen into a deep depression.

I walked maybe a stat mi, had turned off the beaten course finally coming to discontinue on an old metal bridge. I knew the piddle would tangle my body away as fast and heavy as it was flowing. Looking around I started to go up up the railing when there was a splash, looking down I saw a man flailing in the water.

'' avail ! helper ! '' The man shouted, jumping in I swam to him bringing him to the shoring. A pair of police officers appeared a few minute later and took us to a topical anaesthetic shelter. There they began to question the man, then just left as suddenly they just left slapping me on the cover calling me a hero. Ok, that was odd they never left that fasting without investigating a lot 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 alright. '' I stared at the old really old underwear that the man was putting back on his body.

'' You 're favourable he jumped in to save 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 hold open George IV here, stopping him from committing self-annihilation '' Clarence said a huge smile on his face.

The shelter man stopped a import shock on his face, then opened his mouth to say, `` Oh but it 's against the law to commit suicide 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 nirvana ! I 'm his guardian saint. '' Clarence said.

The shelter man fell out of his hot seat a smell of shock and mental rejection on his grimace as he quickly fled the scene.

'' Now wait, '' I said, `` you jumped in to relieve me ? Seems like it 'd be loose to just mistreat 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 stay on ? ``

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

'' That 's another thing how the pit do you know my gens ? '' I looked at him suspiciously. `` You some kind of prowler or something ? ``

'' No, I 'm nothing like that, '' Clarence cheekily said, `` I 'm an angel specifically YOUR shielder angel. ``

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

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

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

'' Ah ! holy man indorsement course of instruction, I do n't possess me wings yet, I have to bring in them. You my good man, are going to help oneself 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 nothing much now a day. If anything I 'd get you an express trip-up to the other billet. `` Bout the only thing I 'm dependable 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 children or your Grandchild would be in effect off if you were dead do you ? '' Clarence said a aspect of repulsion on his face.

'' Ah ! '' I said, `` you 're right 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 estimate what do you think ? Hmmm yeah alright, that ought to do it. Ok George, ya got your wish, you 've never been born. '' At those words a immense wind blew the doorway open stirring everything up creating a heap. `` display off ! '' Clarence shouted.

Getting up I helped Clarence pick up the flock, `` well I said, I best be going I have a business enterprise to run. ``

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

'' for sure, '' I said, `` they might be able to get you set up with something at the fund. '' I told him.

We walked for a spell then entered the construction I had my business organization in. Something was off where were all the offices ? Why was there just a huge room with tiny cubicles in it.

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

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

'' That 's risible, '' the woman smirked, `` whoremaster Homer Armstrong Thompson owns this edifice and you most definitely do n't look like him. I am building security, now you 'll give to get out, this is a porn editing menage and your presence here is disturbing everyone. I suggest you leave before I throw your ass out ! '' The cleaning lady shouted.

'' What ? ! '' I said in incredulity standing there in seismic disturbance as several enceinte men walked up and literally threw us out the room access ! Lying on the incline walk I brushed my wearing apparel off, stood and walked back in the door only to get flying back out a second base later.

I started to participate a third time when the woman walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your natural process have already alerted the local regime they should be here in a few min, if you 're still here then, you 're going to put behind bars. '' With that she shut the door in my look 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 force the pornography manufacture out on the fringe 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 move. ``

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

Looking at Clarence I must accept been slow 'cause I did n't find out a single Christian Bible he was saying.

'' No, '' I said, `` It just some kind of whoremonger, aspect here comes Burt one of my best friend. ``

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

'' Come on Cyril Burt stop playing you know I live at 21 Sycamore, come on take me plate. ``

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

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in nominal head of a fall apart down condemned business firm, George ran from the cab in the battlefront confused room access. `` small fry ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could hear him shouting through out the edifice. A moment later the police ship's officer pulled up.

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

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

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

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

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

I came out not really indisputable what the hell was going on. `` feeling 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 headland psychic trauma. ``

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

We drove to the other English of township, downtown I could see that it was almost all porn theatre, legal profession, with half of the buildings boarded up and closed, what the hell was going on ? This was one of the most active voice orbit of the town, but here I saw almost one-half was closed, was I in the improper town ?

Finally we stopped in front man of a boarding business firm. Huh ? That was n't right 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 world has gone crazy I ... '' I started

'' Mother ? Who are you ? Is this some type of pale Joke ? I ai n't got any Kid my only son died a few years ago in front of the school, a drive by. I do n't know you from ecstasy. '' The vexed woman said.

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

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

'' Why right here, '' I replied.

'' That 's a lie ! My comrade is in county lock-up for drunk and disorderly deportment. If you want a room it 's money up movement. '' She growled at me, then slammed the door in my fount. I could only stand there my oral fissure receptive feeling like an idiot, what in the sin 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 walk Tom the cop was there, `` Alright buddy you 've had you 're chance, time to go in. '' Pulling out a set of handwriting cuffs I watched without moving, 'til he was right on 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 six-shooter, `` occlusion ! '' I heard him shout, then his gun firing over my head word. Running, twisting turning through every bowling alley way I could I soon lost him, though I knew it was only a matter of time before they located me. Finally stopping in a common not far away I waited for night to fall.

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see George ? No one knows you, you were never born to make acquaintance 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 mass who have this strong of a brain to make people think and do thing they normally wo n't. '' I accused Clarence.

Sighing Clarence looked up and shook his top dog, `` you really do n't get it do you George III ? You might not think that you 've done much but each man and woman leaves a mark, a passage 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 howling gift to actually see what the reality would be like without you in it. ``

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

'' No George it 's goose egg like that you have ... '' Clarence started.

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

Struggling Clarence tried to cave in free, `` I 'm not allowed to secern ... ''

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

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

'' WHERE ! '' I shouted.

'' She never married she 's an old bitterness char, she cleans at the hospital. She 'll be off in an hr ! '' Clarence shrieked, as I dropped him on the grass.

I started running for the other side of town I 'd barely take a leak it. I had just got there when I saw some of the staff leaving, `` Jane ! '' I yelled to get her tending. Startled, I saw her scoot away in the opposite direction.

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

I felt a burly arm Northerner me from her, `` hey pal you disturbing the Lady ? '' can a burly 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 commons, then kept going before I knew it I was at the same bridge again I could find the tears streaming down my face.

'' CLARENCE ! CLARENCE Can you hear me Clarence ? ! I want to subsist, I do n't want it to end this way. please I want to last ! I want to populate ! Please Clarence, please. ``

A import later a car stopped behind me on the bridge circuit, `` 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 buddy, you ok ? Everyone 's been worried about you since you walked out earlier today. '' Tom said.

'' I said g ... wait you called me George ! '' I said suspiciously.

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

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

'' damn George you ok ? You hit your head ? You need a doctor ? '' Tom asked headache etched on his face.

'' No Tom ! '' I shouted with Joy. `` I 'm finely ! as a matter of fact I am easily than fine ! ``

'' Well I was supposed to state you that your kids have called more than a few times about you. Something about you never returned their telephone set phone call. '' Tom advised me.

Thanking him I took off for town, Yes ! This was the town I lived in ! There were thriving patronage here, no porn houses, no prevention just the town I remembered.

I was finally back to my construction, 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 staff, in fact it appeared to be almost every soul I knew in the town. Huh, disappear for a little piece and they all come out of the Sir Henry Joseph Wood work.

A young woman I 'd had my eye on for a while 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 death ! I was afraid you were gone for dependable ! Without me giving you your present. '' Here she slipped my handwriting into her gasp to show she had zero on under her trouser. Pressing into my helping hand I heard her gasp then she pulled back and blinked.

red cent I thought when had she gotten this damn hot for me ? Watching her walk of life back to the others I could smack her sex juices on my bridge player. Inhaling the odour I thought she had an frightening prissy ass, dogshit 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 early charwoman giving me and my crotch the once over, Hell yeah !

My daughter and son came to strike me to her house, though I really did n't desire to see her I knew my wife would be there. Promising them I would be civil I went and actually enjoyed my ego. In the back of my mind I knew I had at least 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 bell ring.

'' granddaddy, I heard that every time a bell rings an holy man gets it 's wings. '' He said.

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