Joe hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it in his pocket. The police detective was almost upon him.
What you got there, Joe? Didn’t you just pick something up?

No, I moved this leaf cause it looks like something red’s on it.

What? Yes, it looks like blood alright. The policeman shined his flashlight on the leaf. How did you see it without any light? Joe, what did you pick up?

Joe turned white faced and looked down. It’s a glove, Mike, it has blood on it I think.
Well why are you hiding it? Is it yours? No, Mike it’s yours.

It was a train to their graves and they all knew it. Looking out the windows gave them no new sights to see. Darkness forever was their fate for all the slatternly, nastily, dastardly, bastardly, taciturnly, acts they committed. They’re searching the solace that is not to be.

Number five stands out this week!

The nicest thing a stranger did for me lately is help me into an SUV. I am in a wheelchair and got into the car at home but used a curb to help me up. In the store parking lot there wasn’t one and my legs turned to jelly. I told my friend who drove me that I refused to call 911 to lift me into a high car! A young man carrying a bouquet of flowers in his hands was walking by across the walkway. I called to him to help me. He said no problem I do it for my mom all the time. Just put your arms around my neck. Admittedly it took two tries, but we made it. It was just one of those times my legs went just limp. We thanked him profusely but I never even got his name. So guardian angels are out there….😇

Joe stopped for his signature coffee drink at Starbucks that gave him a false robust feeling, like being a new man. Joe thought stopping at the surplus store a good idea to be ready for a Halloween costume. It was tradition, and last year he even won the costume contest. He wore an oversized backwards pants set of jeans and a plumbers helper tied to the front of his shirt. Joe and Mike were life partners and honesty about their relationship caused a sting at first from teammates, but they soon realized Joe and Mike still had the metal to serve the community as firefighters.
