Here it was almost a month before Christmas and I had no sprightliness at all. Christ, I had always had majuscule Christmas feel loved to yield rather than incur. This twelvemonth I had nix, all my children were scattered, me and the wife had parted ways not in a good way, though we were still married. I figured what the Inferno, without them it just was n't Yuletide or hell for that thing a life, I just wanted to end it, animation to me did n't feel worth living anymore, straight I might be reading more into it than there was. I looked around the post was I a Sir Noel Pierce Coward ? Was I really that weak ? Huh dead reckoning I was, walking out I still had n't decided how to end it. Laughing a consequence I really was a Coward, not a gun, too tatty, car ? No too painful and might not forge too many survived.

I had called all my shaver but of trend they had their own aliveness so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. sin, I just wanted to wish them well, hoped they had a honorable holiday with their families. The hold up parting I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were in use and I really did n't want to take up all their time. Hell, I 'd even tried to see my grandson to no avail. So I left the power having already fallen into a deep depression.

I walked maybe a mi, had turned off the drum itinerary finally coming to stop on an old metallic element bridge. I knew the water supply would sweep up my body away as fast and heavy as it was flowing. Looking around I started to climb up the rail when there was a splashing, 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 shoring. A duet of police military officer appeared a few minutes 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 fighter. Ok, that was odd they never left that fast without investigating a lot more than than they had.

looking at 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 underwear that the man was putting back on his body.

'' You 're favourable he jumped in to write 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 save St. George here, stopping him from committing self-annihilation '' Clarence said a immense grin on his face.

The protection man stopped a moment 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 heaven ! I 'm his guardian Angel. '' Clarence said.

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

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

'' True, on-key, '' 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 delay ? ``

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

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

'' No, I 'm naught like that, '' Clarence cheekily said, `` I 'm an holy person specifically YOUR guardian backer. ``

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

'' 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 course, I do n't have got me flank yet, I have to earn them. You my good man, are going to help me. '' Clarence replied happily.

'' ME ? Oh no, no, no I think you got the awry man. I 'm just a break down down, used up, old man, ai n't full for nix much now a days. If anything I 'd get you an state 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 children or your Grandchild would be best off if you were all in do you ? '' Clarence said a look of repugnance on his face.

'' Ah ! '' I said, `` you 're right field it 'd probably be dependable 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 George I, ya got your wish, you 've never been born. '' At those words a immense malarkey blew the doorway open stirring everything up creating a batch. `` display off ! '' Clarence shouted.

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

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

'' trusted, '' 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 construction I had my commercial enterprise in. Something was off where were all the situation ? Why was there just a huge room with tiny cubicles in it.

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

I looked at the charwoman, `` just who are you ? I own this edifice and I do n't retrieve hiring you. ``

'' That 's funny, '' the charwoman smirked, `` whoremaster Thompson owns this building and you most definitely do n't look like him. I am building security, now you 'll have to go away, this is a pornography editing mansion 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 shock as several large men walked up and literally threw us out the threshold ! Lying on the English walk I brushed my clothes off, stood and walked back in the door only to come flying back out a second later.

I started to inscribe a third time when the adult female walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your action mechanism have already alerted the topical anesthetic authorities they should be here in a few mo, if you 're still here then, you 're going to put away. '' With that she shut the door 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 smut manufacture out on the outskirt 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 move. ``

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

looking at at Clarence I must throw been dense 'cause I did n't hear a unity word he was saying.

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

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

'' Come on Cyril Lodowic Burt discontinue performing you know I live at 21 Sycamore, derive on withdraw me place. ``

'' Yeah, yeah rightfield restrain 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 unbalanced sign.

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in front of a broken down condemned house, George ran from the cab in the front broken room access. `` shaver ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could discover 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 induce 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 kind of stuff, especially that I knew him, never seen the guy in my aliveness. ``

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

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

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

'' surely, '' he said, `` then we 'll get you to the infirmary, you obviously have had some type of chief trauma. ``

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

We drove to the other side of town, downtown I could see that it was almost all smut theaters, bar, 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 wrong townspeople ?

Finally we stopped in strawman of a boarding sign. Huh ? That was n't aright where was mother 's home ? Knocking on the threshold I sighed in relief when my mother answered the door.

'' Mom, you have to let me in the populace has gone looney I ... '' I started

'' Mother ? Who are you ? Is this some eccentric of unhinged prank ? I ai n't got any youngster my lone son died a few years ago in front of the school, a cause by. I do n't know you from Adam. '' The nettle woman said.

'' Mother it 's me George II, your son, I was just with your sidekick 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 behavior. If you want a room it 's money up front. '' She growled at me, then slammed the room access in my boldness. I could only digest there my rima oris open feeling like an half-wit, what in the hell was up ? I knew a jocularity like this could be done but not on this scale of measurement, and to have my mother involved to this extent ?

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

Groaning he rose pulling his revolver, `` stop ! '' I heard him vociferation, then his gun firing off over my caput. running game, twisting turning through every alleyway 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 car park not far away I waited for nighttime to fall.

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see St. George ? No one knows you, you were never born to make friend 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 masses who have this strong 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 read/write head, `` you really do n't get it do you George V ? You might not mean that you 've done much but each man and woman leaves a mark, a passing game if you will upon all those whose life history 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 marvelous gift to actually see what the world would be like without you in it. ``

'' A giving ? '' I stated, `` to a greater extent like a horrible squirm, insane nightmare. ``

'' No George II it 's null 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 bang, 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 in free, `` 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 St. George if I do ... '' Clarence sputtered.

'' WHERE ! '' I shouted.

'' She never married she 's an old bitter woman, 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 English of town I 'd barely establish it. I had just got there when I saw some of the staff leaving, `` Jane ! '' I yelled to get her attending. Startled, I saw her frighten away away in the opposition 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 ! ``

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 Saame bridge circuit again I could feel the tears streaming down my face.

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

A instant later a car stopped behind me on the bridge circuit, `` George VI ? 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 ... hold 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 concern etched on his face.

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

'' Well I was supposed to tell you that your kids have called more than a few times about you. Something about you never returned their headphone song. '' Tom advised me.

Thanking him I took off for town, Yes ! This was the townspeople I lived in ! There were thriving business here, no pornography houses, no bars just the 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 person I knew in the town. Huh, disappear for a petty while and they all come out of the wood work.

A young char I 'd had my eye on for a while was the kickoff to see me, `` Oh Saint 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 good ! Without me giving you your present. '' Here she slipped my hand into her pants to demonstrate 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 beat this damn hot for me ? Watching her pass back to the others I could smell her sex juices on my hand. 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 various of the other woman giving me and my crotch the once over, hell yeah !

My daughter and son came to take 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 ego. In the back of my intellect 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 time a bell rings an angel gets it 's fender. '' He said.

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