It sounds like you are killing off this narrator. Is there a back story?

Well, admittedly no. I wrote it sitting on my porch, locked out accidentally of my own house. It was inspired by the main character from "The History Of Love", as that's what I've been reading. An older male who is nervous to die without being seen that day. So, inevitably I've been thinking of ways this man may pass.

That's the back story. Thanks!

The "slumping like a slinky" line is head over heels! Great image.

Yeah, after I posted that, I realized I actually gave a back story... :) And thank you Lil!
