Oscar retrieved a torn box
in the back of his closet. I remember this! Didn’t think it still existed….
His daughter Beverly
called from somewhere in the house. “Dad!
You be careful in there!!” Her
hopes of moving Oscar into a geriatric care facility had always seemed improbable.
But here she was and didn't want to be detained one moment longer. “See
you tomorrow, Dad!!” Slamming the door
with a sigh of finality, Beverly drove away.
Oscar pulled out the rags
and eased them over his aged body, smiling at the memories…from his days as a transient. The final touch was tucking his souvenir Luger
from war days into the back of the belt.
After living a
philanthropic life, Oscar stepped out the door eager to lead his former misanthropic
existence. Slamming the door behind him,
Oscar ambled away with a broad smile...back into the memories of the past.***

Oscar will not go far, I assure you.
