“He was sent home again. Not a stitch on this time.”
“Can’t they stop him?”
“They would, but nobody sees him undress. It’s like one minute he has clothes on, and the next minute he’s starko.”
“Does he still say he’s invisible?”
“He doesn’t say it anymore, but I’m pretty sure he believes it.”
“Even though everybody can see him?”
“Look, I have no idea why he’s like this. All I know is that it’s a problem. It’s getting worse, and everybody there is at their wit’s end. They can’t exactly fire him, you know.”
“I may have an idea.”
I can’t wait to know what the idea is …
As for Starko – would winter not, um, help him .. chill… 😉
Reminds me of the children’s story “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” Poor old guy, I hope whoever has an idea will be able to help him keep his pants on 🙂
Good one. I had a resident at the nursing home I worked at many decades ago that did that. He was so quick about it. We were so used to it… but on weekends when families came, we had to keep out an extra eye just in case someone let him out of the unit. Sad, but true.
Whats the idea? Thats a brilliant piece and I immediately thought of the Naked Rambler in Britain, the guy who loves walking around naked apart from his walking boots, keeps getting arrested, its a funny thing, nakedness.
Clever take on the prompt. Had me in stitches!
Jeepers, I assume this is an adult. Ha ha ha – he needs a nice, warm bed in a padded cell where he can be his “invisible self” with no problems! Cute!
