original story - 7. the pigeon



by bofa xesjum




you just can’t face reality.

what do you call reality?

the river flowed to the sea.

roger’s fate was sealed when he agreed to lend sarah fifty thousand dollars.

eugene promised roger he would stand by him through thick and thin.

willie listened at the door of the conference room.

all their fates were sealed when willie heard the elevator risig.

constance watched willie saunter casually away from the conference room.

the pigeon on the window observed eugene’s mouth moving.

eugene nodded to constance when she entered thr conference room.

he did not ask her where she had been the night before or why she was late for the meeting.

i sincerely hope so, daniel boone asserted when eugene finally finished speaking.

daniel boone slunk away down the corridor to the elevator, thinking vile thoughts

chester caught up with him. what happened to you last night, he asked.

daniel gave a long rambling answer, which chester was more than a bit skeptical of.

eugene, daniel, constance, and chester were all obsolete.

only williw would survive the armageddon.

nothing could be further from the truth, willie maintained stoutly when questioned about his behavior by frank and edgar.

frank did most of the talking.

edgar mostly looked on with a skeptical frown on his face.

the truth was never revealed,

tomorrow everything may be different.

if everyone learns to face reality.

but even the obsolete have problems.

chester did not believe anything eugene or constance said.

> daniel despised them all.

they all, even frank and edgar, agreed on one thing - they hoped tomorrow would be different.
