酷我-北美枫

A Day in His Life


"A pleasant evening, isn't it, my dear?" He relaxes on the bench, looking like the jolly Laughing Buddha with a largely exposed pot belly, his bald head covered with a sports hat. There is really no more peaceful place to be on a cool summer night than right here. He sits contently, talking to his wife.

"You know, this morning, I made up my mind and went to Lee's office, and I, I, ... Never mind. Let's not spoil this beautiful feeling." He stops talking, and watches as stars begin to populate the sky.

He is a frequent visitor here. He comes when he is troubled, when he is happy, and when he just misses her -- which is pretty much all the time. He sits on his personal bench, relaxing for a while. The breeze caresses him.

The sun has set. He gets off his bench, stretches, and ambles back to the car. He turns on the ignition. He drives aimlessly through the town. Another day of his life has passed by, silently and swiftly.

Shame on me. I didn't realize that his wife passed away. Does it need a transitional word or sentence or any indicator separating the first two paragraphs from the present? Without reading the above comments, I almost missed it.

A melancholy write.

This reminded me a true story a few years ago.

It happened in Toronto.

An old man was more than 90, his wife died two years ago. He felt too lonely and no meaning to live alone, in the cold winter night, he slept the outside bench of his house and died in peace.
