Angeled

I was visited by an angel.

I said, “Why are you here?”

The angel said, “I don’t have a reason. Do you need one?”

I said, “I guess not.”

We went for Chinese Food. I got the Shanghai Slammer. It’s got Everything in it and it’s held together with a pound of MSG. I ate the S. Slammer and was totally wiped out.

I said to the angel, “I thought your presence would make me safe.”

The angel said, “Why would you think that?”

I said, “I thought you were a guardian.”

The angel said, “You thought wrong.”

I struggled to get to my car.

I drove. I was so spacey that I drove off a cliff. On the way down I said to the angel, “Is there anything you can do about this?”

The angel said, “Nope.”

We crashed. The car burst in flames. It hurt. We got out.

I said, “Are there any benefits to hanging out with you?”

The angel said, “As many as there are to hanging out with you.”
