Here it was almost a month before Xmas and I had no spirit at all. Christ, I had always had big Christmas spirit loved to return rather than invite. This year I had nothing, 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 hell, without them it just was n't Noel or Scheol for that matter a aliveness, I just wanted to end it, life to me did n't palpate worth living anymore, avowedly I might be reading more into it than there was. I looked around the office 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 mo I really was a coward, not a gun, too loudly, car ? No too sore and might not shape too many survived.

I had called all my nipper but of class they had their own lifespan so were far to busy to be bothered with their old man. hell on earth, I just wanted to wish them well, hoped they had a near holiday with their families. The last portion I left, I apologized for bothering them as I knew that they were fussy and I really did n't desire to take up all their time. pit, I 'd even tried to see my grandson to no avail. So I left the office having already fallen into a cryptic depression.

I walked maybe a mile, had turned off the ticktock way of life finally coming to blockade on an old metal bridge. I knew the weewee would sweep my consistence away as fast and great as it was flowing. Looking around I started to climb up the railing when there was a splattering, looking down I saw a man flailing in the water.

'' helper ! HELP ! '' The man shouted, jumping in I swam to him bringing him to the shoring. A yoke of police force officers appeared a few minutes later and took us to a local shelter. There they began to query the man, then just left as suddenly they just left slapping me on the back calling me a hero sandwich. Ok, that was odd they never left that fast 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 fine. '' I stared at the old really old underclothing that the man was putting back on his body.

'' You 're golden 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 economise George here, stopping him from committing suicide '' Clarence said a Brobdingnagian 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 promised land ! I 'm his guardian Angel. '' Clarence said.

The shelter man fell out of his electric chair a look of seismic disturbance and skepticism on his facial expression as he quickly fled the scene.

'' Now wait, '' I said, `` you jumped in to keep me ? Seems like it 'd be well-heeled to just pace up and say hey do n't do it ! Do n't you cerebrate ? ``

'' 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 ? ``

'' 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 stalker or something ? ``

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

Nodding my question this was a bit a great deal to involve 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 secondly form, I do n't accept me wings 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 wrong man. I 'm just a better down, used up, old man, ai n't sound for naught much now a days. If anything I 'd get you an show trip to the other plaza. `` Bout the alone 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 consider that your wife, your children or your Grandchild would be better off if you were drained do you ? '' Clarence said a look of horror on his face.

'' Ah ! '' I said, `` you 're right hand it 'd probably be punter 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 wish, you 've never been born. '' At those Holy Scripture a Brobdingnagian malarkey blew the doorway unfold stirring everything up creating a quite a little. `` display off ! '' Clarence shouted.

Getting up I helped Clarence cull up the mess, `` Well I said, I best be going I have a stage business to run. ``

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

'' Sure, '' I said, `` they might be able-bodied 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 stage business in. Something was off where were all the offices ? Why was there just a huge room with tiny stall in it.

A woman 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 remember hiring you. ``

'' That 's funny, '' the woman smirked, `` John Homer A. Thompson owns this building and you most definitely do n't wait like him. I am building security system, now you 'll have to result, this is a porn editing star sign and your comportment here is disturbing everyone. I suggest you leave before I throw your ass out ! '' The womanhood shouted.

'' What ? ! '' I said in mental rejection standing there in shock as various big men walked up and literally threw us out the door ! Lying on the incline walk I brushed my dress off, stood and walked back in the room access only to number flying back out a 2nd later.

I started to enter a third time when the woman walked out, `` I suggest that you leave, your actions have already alerted the local sureness they should be here in a few minutes, if you 're still here then, you 're going to put behind bars. '' With that she shut the door in my nerve 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 porn industriousness 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 go. ``

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

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

'' No, '' I said, `` It just some form of trick, look here comes Burt one of my best booster. ``

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

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

'' Yeah, yeah veracious keep your shirt on ! '' We pulled out and the cabbie passed a constabulary car drawing the officer 's attention and waving at me then doing a demented sign.

The cab with the 3 of them stopped in front of a broken down condemned home, George I ran from the cab in the presence unkept threshold. `` Kids ? Jane ? Jr ? '' They could hear him shouting through out the building. A present moment later the police officer pulled up.

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

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

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

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

'' Ok buddy you 've had your fun time to go, this lieu is n't safe been condemned, '' the policeman 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 stop you for trespassing ! ``

I came out not really trusted 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, '' he said, `` then we 'll get you to the hospital, you obviously have had some eccentric of head psychic trauma. ``

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

We drove to the other English of town, business district I could see that it was almost all porn theater of operations, bars, with one-half of the buildings boarded up and closed, what the sin was going on ? This was one of the most active areas of the town, but here I saw almost half was closed, was I in the amiss town ?

Finally we stopped in front of a boarding sign. Huh ? That was n't right where was female parent 's house ? Knocking on the room access I sighed in reliever 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 sick Joke ? I ai n't got any kids my entirely son died a few age ago in front of the school, a cause by. I do n't know you from Adam. '' The annoyed adult female said.

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

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

'' Why right field here, '' I replied.

'' That 's a lie ! My brother is in county lock-up for drunk and chaotic deportment. If you want a elbow room it 's money up strawman. '' She growled at me, then slammed the door in my cheek. I could only endure there my backtalk heart-to-heart feeling like an cretin, what in the inferno was up ? I knew a joke like this could be done but not on this scale, and to have got my mother involved to this extent ?

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

Groaning he rose pulling his revolver, `` stop ! '' I heard him shout, then his gun dismission over my head. 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 commons not far away I waited for night to fall.

Clarence soon appeared. `` You see Saint George ? No one knows you, you were never born to take a crap 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 hoi polloi who have this hard of a thinker to draw people recollect 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 think that you 've done much but each man and woman leaves a Mark, a passing play if you will upon all those whose life history 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 talent to actually see what the public would be like without you in it. ``

'' A natural endowment ? '' I stated, `` More like a horrible twisted, insane nightmare. ``

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

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

Struggling Clarence tried to disclose spare, `` I 'm not allowed to tell ... ''

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

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

'' WHERE ! '' I shouted.

'' She never married she 's an old bitterness woman, 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 English of townspeople I 'd barely draw it. I had just got there when I saw some of the stave departure, `` Jane ! '' I yelled to get her tending. Startled, I saw her dash away in the contrary direction.

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

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

'' Disturbing ? No, that 's my married woman ! '' at which breaker 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 green, then kept going before I knew it I was at the same bridge again I could feel the tears streaming down my face.

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

A minute later a car stopped behind me on the bridge deck, `` George ? 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 teacher ? You need a doctor ? '' Tom asked headache etched on his face.

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

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

Thanking him I took off for Town, Yes ! This was the town I lived in ! There were thriving job here, no pornography houses, no measure just the township I remembered.

I was finally back to my building, strangely enough there was a crew 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 fiddling spell and they all come out of the Grant Wood work.

A Young woman I 'd had my eye on for a spell was the first off to see me, `` Oh George III ! '' 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 award. '' Here she slipped my hand into her trouser to show she had zip on under her trouser. Pressing into my paw I heard her gasp then she pulled back and blinked.

Damn I thought when had she commence this damn hot for me ? Watching her pass back to the others I could smell her sex juices on my hand. Inhaling the odor I thought she had an awful dainty ass, son of a bitch I had almost missed it ! Looking up I winked and mouthed thank you Clarence, I most definitely wanted to inhabit now !

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

My girl and son came to contain me to her sign of the zodiac, though I really did n't need to see her I knew my married woman would be there. Promising them I would be polite I went and actually enjoyed my self. In the back of my idea 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.

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

smiling I nodded, `` that 's powerful, '' I said looking up, `` 'at a boy Clarence, 'at a boy ! ''
