Apparently you've already forgotten about me.
My name is Chuck. I live in Athens, GA with my two
dogs, Bella and Soap, and the occasional visit from my
gilfriend, Caroline. It's not the nicest house in the
world, but it's comfortable. I went to school at UGA,
but realized toward the end of my scholarly career
that academics were not for me, thus I chose a life in
the kitchen. Sweat, burns, cuts and hard labor were
in store for me. The pay is not great but the work I
love. I thought I had it all figured out until my
intelligent, beautiful, wonderful girlfriend left for
St. Lucia and fell in love with a wealthy, debonair
European man ten years older than her. Then it all
fell apart. The drinking, the cigarettes, the crying.
Wave upon wave of sorrow. Just to hear her voice one
more time saying, "I love you." All in vain, the
trial and struggles and triumphs and defeats. Such is
life, no sunshine and no roses, only a pale grey sky
muting the fading colors summer. And now I sleep,
only to awaken to a world of sorrow and anguish, from
which puppies and eight-hour car trips cannot save me.
To my lost love, I say, "What did I do? Where did I
go wrong?"
Caroline, I love you, of this you can be sure.
Chuck.
