Here it was almost a month before Christmastide and I had no disembodied spirit at all. Jesus of Nazareth, I had always had great Christmas spirit loved to give rather than find. This year I had nothing, all my baby were scattered, me and the wife had parted means 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 on earth for that matter a life, 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 part was I a coward ? Was I really that fallible ? Huh guessing I was, walking out I still had n't decided how to end it. Laughing a second I really was a Sir Noel Pierce Coward, not a gun, too loud, car ? No too painful and might not wreak too many survived.

I had called all my kid but of course they had their own living so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. netherworld, I just wanted to wish well them well, hoped they had a good holiday with their house. The hold out part I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were busy and I really did n't want to pack up all their time. Hell, I 'd even try on to see my grandson to no avail. So I left the office having already fallen into a abstruse depression.

I walked maybe a mile, had turned off the beaten track finally coming to hold on on an old metallic element bridgework. I knew the urine would span my body away as fast and heavy as it was flowing. Looking around I started to climb up the railing when there was a splash, looking down I saw a man flailing in the water.

'' aid ! assist ! '' The man shouted, jumping in I swam to him bringing him to the shore. A couple of police police officer appeared a few transactions later and took us to a topical anaesthetic tax shelter. There they began to wonder the man, then just left as suddenly they just left slapping me on the back calling me a fighter. Ok, that was odd they never left that fast 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 ticket. '' I stared at the old really old underclothes that the man was putting back on his body.

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

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

The protection man stopped a consequence shock on his brass, then opened his rima oris 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 Eden ! I 'm his defender angel. '' Clarence said.

The tax shelter man fell out of his chair a look of jolt and disbelief on his fount as he quickly fled the scene.

'' Now wait, '' I said, `` you jumped in to save me ? Seems like it 'd be gentle to just ill-treat up and say hey do n't do it ! Do n't you cogitate ? ``

'' True, admittedly, '' 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 III, I 'm OK. '' He chuckled.

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

'' No, I 'm nix like that, '' Clarence cheekily said, `` I 'm an holy man specifically YOUR shielder saint. ``

Nodding my read/write head 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 ? ``

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

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

'' Ah ! Angel second gear social class, I do n't induce me backstage yet, I have to gain them. You my good man, are going to aid me. '' Clarence replied happily.

'' ME ? Oh no, no, no I think you got the wrong man. I 'm just a split down, used up, old man, ai n't good for nothing much now a daytime. If anything I 'd get you an give tongue to trip to the other 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 think that your wife, your tiddler or your Grandchild would be better off if you were dead do you ? '' Clarence said a look of revulsion 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 approximation what do you think ? Hmmm yeah alright, that ought to do it. Ok Saint George, ya got your bid, you 've never been born. '' At those words a Brobdingnagian confidential information blew the threshold unfold stirring everything up creating a mess. `` Show off ! '' Clarence shouted.

Getting up I helped Clarence blame up the mess, `` wellspring I said, I best be going I have a business to run. ``

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

'' Sure, '' I said, `` they might be capable to get you set up with something at the storehouse. '' I told him.

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

A charwoman walked up to me, `` I 'm sorry sir but you do not belong here, you 'll have to lead. ``

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

'' That 's funny, '' the cleaning lady smirked, `` John Thompson owns this edifice and you most definitely do n't calculate like him. I am building security, now you 'll have to impart, this is a porn editing sign of the zodiac and your presence here is disturbing everyone. I suggest you leave before I throw your ass out ! '' The woman shouted.

'' What ? ! '' I said in disbelief standing there in impact as several large men walked up and literally threw us out the room access ! Lying on the position walk I brushed my clothes off, stood and walked back in the threshold only to come flying back out a back later.

I started to enter a one-third time when the womanhood walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your legal action have already alerted the local dominance they should be here in a few minutes, if you 're still here then, you 're going to immure. '' With that she shut the door in my fount 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 porn diligence out on the outskirts of the urban center. ``

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

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

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

'' No, '' I said, `` It just some variety of conjuration, look here comes Burt one of my upright friends. ``

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

'' Come on Burt stop playing you know I live at 21 platan, come on take me dwelling. ``

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

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in forepart of a broken down condemned theatre, George I ran from the cab in the front broken threshold. `` nestling ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could see him shouting through out the building. A moment later the police officer 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 Burt ? '' the officer said.

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

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

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

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

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

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

We drove to the other slope of township, downtown I could see that it was almost all porn field, bars, with half of the buildings boarded up and closed, what the hell was going on ? This was one of the most active areas of the townspeople, but here I saw almost half was closed, was I in the unseasonable town ?

Finally we stopped in front of a boarding theater. Huh ? That was n't in good order where was mother 's sign of the zodiac ? Knocking on the room access I sighed in relief when my female parent answered the door.

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

'' Mother ? Who are you ? Is this some type of sick Joke ? I ai n't got any tyke my merely son died a few years ago in nominal head of the school, a drive by. I do n't have sex you from disco biscuit. '' The harried woman said.

'' Mother 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 behaviour. If you want a room it 's money up front. '' She growled at me, then slammed the threshold in my face. I could only brook there my mouth open feeling like an half-wit, what in the sin was up ? I knew a joke like this could be done but not on this scale, and to own my mother involved to this extent ?

I walked to the end of the base on balls Tom the cop was there, `` Alright buddy you 've had you 're chance, time to go in. '' Pulling out a set of hand manacle I watched without moving, 'til he was powerful upon me then I sprang. Catching Tom with a surprisal uppercut I watched him light then lit out the face-to-face direction.

Groaning he rose pulling his revolver, `` stop ! '' I heard him shout, then his gun firing over my forefront. Running, twisting turning through every 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 park not far away I waited for Nox to fall.

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see George II ? No one knows you, you were never born to make booster 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 the great unwashed who have this strong of a mind to shit hoi polloi cerebrate and do things they normally wo n't. '' I accused Clarence.

Sighing Clarence looked up and shake off his chief, `` you really do n't get it do you St. George ? You might not remember that you 've done much but each man and woman leaves a mark, a passing if you will upon all those whose biography 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 grand gift to actually see what the world would be like without you in it. ``

'' A giving ? '' I stated, `` More like a horrible convolute, insane nightmare. ``

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

Grabbing Clarence by his shirt I stared straight into his eyes. `` I have to have it away 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 founder free, `` I 'm not allowed to tell ... ''

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

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

'' WHERE ! '' I shouted.

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

I started running for the other side of Ithiel Town I 'd barely clear it. I had just got there when I saw some of the stave departure, `` Jane ! '' I yelled to get her aid. Startled, I saw her frighten away away in the paired direction.

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

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

'' Disturbing ? No, that 's my wife ! '' at which distributor point Jane let out a thigh-slapper 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 Lapp bridge again I could feel the rent streaming down my face.

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

A minute later a car stopped behind me on the nosepiece, `` George VI ? George ! '' I heard Tom the cop say.

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

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

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

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

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

'' Damn George I you ok ? You hit your read/write head ? You need a doctor ? '' Tom asked vexation etched on his face.

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

'' Well I was supposed to recite you that your youngster have called more than a few times about you. Something about you never returned their sound calls. '' Tom advised me.

Thanking him I took off for town, Yes ! This was the town I lived in ! There were thriving business enterprise here, no erotica sign of the zodiac, no bars just the Ithiel Town I remembered.

I was finally back to my building, strangely enough there was a crowd 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 somebody I knew in the township. Huh, disappear for a little while and they all come out of the wood work.

A young cleaning 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 end ! I was afraid you were gone for full ! Without me giving you your acquaint. '' Here she slipped my manus into her gasp to read she had nil on under her trouser. Pressing into my hand I heard her gasp then she pulled back and blinked.

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

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

My girl and son came to call for 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 civil I went and actually enjoyed my self. In the back of my judgment I knew I had at to the lowest degree 5 early 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 time a bell rings an angel gets it 's wings. '' He said.

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