She worked with crazy people so I thought maybe she was what I needed.
Those were her words, she was young and tough, she used them ironically, as a way of coping. She worked with bipolars, schizophrenics, sociopaths, and she was on a date with me.
Now, overall, I think I'm OK. Sure I get dark patches but, in fact, I often feel like the sanest person in the room. I watch the lunacy all around me on a daily basis and think that either I just don’t get it because I'm sane, or that I must be crazy because I’m the one who just doesn’t get it.
So I wanted to ask her about it, to get her view on things, to see what her take on it was.
I was planning my question when she turned to me and said, "I think I should date someone my own age."
I looked at her and thought Well that’s just crazy.
I thought this piece was bloody funny and, upon reflection, one of your most layered shorts. Maybe a follow up in the future?
