Jesus your life is a disaster. I swear you are always walking a tightrope.
Not a tightrope, I say. A trapeze.
I get it, he says. One crisis to another, flying between them, back and forth. You twist and turn and never get anywhere.
Yeah yeah, I say. You should talk.
And you work without a net. And me, I’m one of those clowns in the ambulance who jumps out with a stretcher and trips over it while the crowd laughs.
You should bring a shovel instead, scrape me off the floor.
Naw. You never fall. That’s the amazing thing.
Some folks have all the luck eh? Good stuff
Good story. Enjoyed it.
One of them likes walking on the wild side! Nicely done dialogue flows smoothly. 🙂
I really liked this, he’s a lucky guy. Difficult to be with though, all that swinging back and forth. But jolly exciting maybe…
For just a second there I thought your character was addressing Jesus! Took a moment to get past that 🙂
I love stories told in conversation only. Excellent writing.
