Life is a Joke
Life is a Joke
In my ear I hear a click. It is the hammer of a revolver I have pointed at my head as I cock the pistol one last time. The frustrations of daily life must have got to me I guess. Finally, I contemplate the end.
My mind wanders as life events flash before me, I stand ready to accept my fate. I pull back on the trigger, the cylinder of the gun rotates once and a deep red floods my vision.
As I lay on the floor a word in black floats in front of my eyes, mocking me.
Bang.

Yeah, that's what you get when you buy guns branded "ACME" in a back alley from people named Will E. Coyote.

Nice one! This is a lot funnier than what happened to Jon-Erik Hexum.

Re: Life is a Joke
I agree, I see but I have no gun, and a slow death by poison is no fun!
I have been thinking about making my exit soon by the light of a full moon or at high noon like a crazy loon but I keep holding back since I sorely lack initiative even in this matter of spilling out my gray matter on the floor behind a closed door.
Therefore, even if I feel really sore and life is a giant bore I try to even the score by writing out all I can before everything finally does turn south.

We live on a dead end street with only one connection, which is one-way (from our street, turning left) . Whenever anyone visiting our house for the first time leaves, we advise them on how to return to the parallel main street that is one block away to the right.
