  THE OAF and the ONE-LEGGED MAN

  by Terry in

  2. experiences

  the oaf and the one-legged man.

  spatters of rain dribbled into unsettled silence.. the man with the prosthetic leg dropped the umbrella from his shoulder and shook it onto the sidewalk in front of the bookstore.

  his scooter chair roosted nearby like a guide dog for a blind man.. steadying himself, he exchanged tattered raingear for his cane and wobbled uneasily toward the door handle.a tall man with a van dyke beard held the door open for him with a neighborly grin.. "you get caught in this downpour on that thing?

  This employee is late middle age with a playful appreciation for regular customers such as Dub.
  Oddly, few of the other employees welcome the sight of Dub for reasons beyond his reckoning

  
  Another well-written piece really enjoyed it.

  
  
  Have a feeling the "employee" is you.:)

  I will read your story next time online.

  Um, uhhh, okay. Say what?

  
  

  Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

  Oh man, that just cracked me up lucky I didn't have a coffee in my hand!

  I must have missed this story another well-presented piece.

  As a shy youth, you tactfully controlled the entire phone conversation. That takes balls!

  The ONLY phone conversation with a girl (jw) for me was asking her out to the movies in a group. She excitingly asks "which movie?!"

  Followed immediately by a booming "NO GIRL YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!"

  In the background.

  welcome to my world :)

  words my father never spoke.

  "the last time i saw wes he was standing over your baby bed reciting something from--oh, i don't know--shakespeare or the old testament.

  then, he leaned down to kiss you instead of picking you up.

  Another fantastic piece of writing.

  again I was there with you like i went back in time

  An excellent writer whom i know quoted this once:

  a piece of writing should sound like somebody is standing there in front of you telling you right out of thin air--straight from the heart.

  Well, you certainly achieved that. :)

  I was 55 years old when I final realised the three words I have NEVER heard from my parents:

  "I Love You"

  Terry what can i say...

  I was right there behind you as a little boy following you as you ran through the house

  
  I dashed quickly through our hallway and out the screen door and jumped over the front porch onto the driveway adjacent to the Robert's house.

  Your gift to paint a clear vivid picture in the readers mind is amazing!

  thank you for sharing.:)

  Back ground insight into the RC

  by umbertoecho in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  this is not an attack upon the rc.

  it is an example of the sheer volume of work they are dealing with and the scope of events they have dealt with.. i went to the rc support place here in wa.

  it seemed that many people (staff) were dropping out from this place due to illness, holiday's ..family ....and so on.
