#39 Woke Up

| Whitt’s End Art

I woke up. While that is nothing really remarkable for anybody else it is for me. You see I have been asleep for over thirty years. I guess you can call me Rip. You know after that Rip Van Winkle character. 

You may wonder why I feel asleep and who was taking care of me while I slept. The answer is I’m in a spaceship barreling across the galaxy. I am miles from earth. The rest of my crew will wake up soon. Then we can find out why the ship woke me up. Wait, what is that outside?

#34 The Lonely Cane

The lonely cane leans against the wall. Waiting, waiting, for the owner to return. The cane misses its daily walk, sometimes to the park, others time to the falls. The owner has been gone so long . The cane wonders of his return. So it just sits and waits patiently. 

“Dad, what do I do with the cane?”

“Bring it along son, maybe I’ll keep it to remember him by…maybe not.”

The lonely canes moves on.

“Excuse me dear. Why are there weapons in my bathroom?” 

She looked over at her husband. “Well…Uum..”

“I’ve told you before. I don’t like it when you bring your work home with you. Itmis bad enough having a spy for a wife but…”

“Okay… I was going to move them.”
