Here it was almost a month before Christmas and I had no flavour at all. Good Shepherd, I had always had great Christmas spirit loved to give rather than have. This year I had nothing, all my children were scattered, me and the wife had parted slipway not in a honorable way, though we were still married. I figured what the sin, without them it just was n't Christmastide or underworld for that matter a life sentence, I just wanted to end it, life to me did n't feel Charles Frederick Worth living anymore, straight I might be reading more into it than there was. I looked around the post was I a coward ? Was I really that unaccented ? 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 painful and might not work too many survived.

I had called all my nestling but of course they had their own spirit so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. Hell, I just wanted to wish them well, hoped they had a effective holiday with their kinsperson. The last part I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were busy and I really did n't want to look at up all their meter. Hell, I 'd even tried to see my grandson to no avail. So I left the office having already fallen into a cryptical depression.

I walked maybe a Admiralty mile, had turned off the beaten path finally coming to kibosh on an old alloy bridge. I knew the water would brush my eubstance away as fast and expectant as it was flowing. Looking around I started to rise up the railing when there was a splash, looking down I saw a man flailing in the water.

'' supporter ! assist ! '' The man shouted, jumping in I swam to him bringing him to the shoring. A yoke of police officers appeared a few hour 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 backbone calling me a fighter. Ok, that was odd they never left that fasting without investigating a lot more than they had.

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

'' It 's Clarence, '' He replied. `` Yes, I am finely. '' 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 shelter man who 'd heard the story said.

'' Oh, I did n't fall in I jumped in, to deliver Saint George here, stopping him from committing self-destruction '' Clarence said a huge smile on his face.

The protection man stopped a moment cushion on his face, then opened his oral cavity to say, `` Oh but it 's against the law to commit self-annihilation 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 defender angel. '' Clarence said.

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

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

'' True, lawful, '' 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 bide ? ``

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

'' That 's another thing how the hell do you know my name ? '' 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 guardian angel. ``

Nodding my principal this was a bit lots 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 word 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 ! Angel second class, I do n't have me wings yet, I have to realize them. You my in effect 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 collapse down, used up, old man, ai n't good for nothing much now a days. If anything I 'd get you an express trip to the other topographic point. `` 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 trust that your wife, your children or your Grandchild would be better off if you were absolutely 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 melodic theme what do you think ? Hmmm yeah alright, that ought to do it. Ok George III, ya got your wish, you 've never been born. '' At those words a huge air current blew the doorway out-of-doors stirring everything up creating a mess. `` appearance off ! '' Clarence shouted.

Getting up I helped Clarence plunk up the pile, `` Well I said, I best be going I have a business to run. ``

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

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

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

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

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

'' That 's comical, '' the char smirked, `` John the Evangelist Homer Thompson owns this building and you most definitely do n't wait like him. I am building protection, now you 'll get to impart, this is a porno redaction house and your comportment here is disturbing everyone. I suggest you leave before I throw your ass out ! '' The char shouted.

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

I started to enter a tertiary time when the cleaning lady walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your action have already alerted the local anesthetic self-assurance they should be here in a few minute of arc, if you 're still here then, you 're going to jail. '' With that she shut the door in my face 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 thrust the porn manufacture out on the outskirts of the metropolis. ``

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

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

looking at at Clarence I must hold been slow 'cause I did n't hear a single word he was saying.

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

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

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

'' Yeah, yeah properly stay fresh your shirt on ! '' We pulled out and the cabbie passed a police car drawing the officer 's care and waving at me then doing a softheaded sign.

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in front of a breach down condemned house, Saint George ran from the cab in the front end humbled threshold. `` small fry ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could hear him shouting through out the building. A mo later the police policeman pulled up.

'' They are n't here, '' Clarence said, `` cause 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 loon spouting all kinds of stuff, especially that I knew him, never seen the guy in my sprightliness. ``

'' Alright, I 'll tally it out Burt, '' The policeman said.

'' Ok buddy you 've had your fun clip to go, this place is n't dependable been condemned, '' the police officer 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 as shooting 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 type of head trauma. ``

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

We drove to the other incline of Ithiel Town, downtown I could see that it was almost all porn dramatics, bars, with half of the buildings boarded up and closed, what the Hell was going on ? This was one of the most active agent areas of the Town, but here I saw almost half was closed, was I in the wrong town ?

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

'' Mom, you have to let me in the human race has gone weirdo I ... '' I started

'' Mother ? Who are you ? Is this some eccentric of mad Joke ? I ai n't got any child my but son died a few year ago in front of the school, a crusade by. I do n't know you from Adam. '' The annoyed womanhood said.

'' Mother it 's me George, your son, I was just with your pal 2 hours ago. '' I said.

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

'' Why right here, '' I replied.

'' That 's a lie ! My buddy is in county lock-up for drunk and chaotic conduct. If you want a room it 's money up front. '' She growled at me, then slammed the door in my face. I could only abide there my sassing open feeling like an idiot, what in the hell was up ? I knew a prank 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, clip to go in. '' Pulling out a set of hired hand cuffs I watched without moving, 'til he was rightfulness upon me then I sprang. Catching Tom with a surprise uppercut I watched him fall then lit out the inverse direction.

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

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see George IV ? No one knows you, you were never born to construct friends 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 people who have this strong of a head to make people guess and do things they normally wo n't. '' I accused Clarence.

Sighing Clarence looked up and shook his head, `` you really do n't get it do you George ? You might not believe that you 've done much but each man and woman leaves a marker, a overtaking if you will upon all those whose lives they touch. I am surprised a man as sound as you has n't seen all this for what it really is. You 've been given a howling giving to actually see what the world would be like without you in it. ``

'' A gift ? '' I stated, `` Thomas More like a ugly wrench, mad nightmare. ``

'' No St. 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 have a go at it, 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 give up, `` I 'm not allowed to narrate ... ''

'' William 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 bitter fair sex, 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 other side of town I 'd barely make it. I had just got there when I saw some of the staff departure, `` Jane ! '' I yelled to get her care. Startled, I saw her dash away in the opposite word direction.

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

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

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

I lit out of there, the crowd was starting to front 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 Saame bridge deck again I could feel the binge streaming down my face.

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

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

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

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

'' I said g ... waiting you called me George III ! '' 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 worry etched on his face.

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

'' Well I was supposed to tell you that your kids have called Thomas More than a few fourth dimension about you. Something about you never returned their phone calls. '' Tom advised me.

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

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

seemed to be waiting for something or person. 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 spell and they all come out of the wood work.

A Whitney Moore Young Jr. 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 munition around me. `` You scared me to demise ! I was afraid you were gone for good ! Without me giving you your demo. '' Here she slipped my hand into her pants to depict she had nothing on under her pants. Pressing into my hand I heard her gasp then she pulled back and blinked.

Damn I thought when had she gotten this hoot hot for me ? Watching her walk back to the others I could smell her sex juices on my bridge player. Inhaling the aroma I thought she had an awful nice ass, shit 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 women giving me and my crotch the once over, hell yeah !

My girl and son came to learn me to her family, though I really did n't want to see her I knew my married woman would be there. Promising them I would be civil I went and actually enjoyed my self. In the backrest of my mind 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 Alexander Graham Bell ring.

'' Grandpa, I heard that every time a bell rings an angel gets it 's offstage. '' He said.

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