Relief
Originally Written in 2008
How long have I been asleep?
Roughly three hours sir.
Where is my wife?
Dead, along with your two sons.
Did they die happy?
They were together if not happy.
Where am I?
Surely you recognize your garage.
Who are you?
Just think of me as relief.
Relief from what?
A life too terrible to continue.
Why should you decide that?
I’m not the one with the gun sir…
