A Video Plea

“Trust me I’ve almost been hit twice by whoever is there!”

Now he had me wondering if Melissa had been the one staying in Walter’s place, had been the one who almost hit me twice with that pick-up truck

“I’m sorry to interrupt your introspection but you like to hear your part of Mr. Caruther’s will, it was done as a video presentation with hopes that Miss Walton wouldn’t be here when it was heard!”

That made me wonder just what Walter was trying to pull from beyond the grave.

“Of course, sorry for letting my mind wander!”

Then the Lawyer came around his desk, went to the dvd player, and started. A second later the picture turned from black to a full coloured view of Walter dressed in a football jersey with an double “R” logo on a ball cap. Then a voice can be heard.

“If you’re hearing this Harry then I’m no longer alive and living next door to you. If the lawyer followed my orders then you have met Melissa Walton, my granddaughter from my son’s second marriage. A dynamite piece of female flesh to look at but so fucking vapid! She’s the kind of girl who would go to the bathroom and lose the directions to the toilet bowl!”

He paused on screen then continued, “Harry I know that you are the kind of guy I’ve always prayed that Melissa would eventually fall for and I know that if I introduced you two, Melissa would object and deliberately be mean to you! So this is the only way I could think of for her to be around you and hopefully fall for you.

On screen Walter removed his ball cap, scrunching it up in both of his hands, “So Harry if you could see fit to grant me a giant favor, I would be able to rest in peace wherever I’m slated to go!” On screen he motioned a thumbs up sign for going to heaven then turning it into the thumbs down sign signifying his going to hell

“Harry I’m sure that after your initial meeting with Melissa that you’re wondering just what and how often I've been using to come up with this! And I can reassure you I was of sound mind when I came up with this.!” Another pause, “I will fully understand if you refuse to even try to make a dead man’s last wish come true but I’m really hoping that our friendship means something to you to at least give it a try!”

Then the picture fades with our final image of Walter being big wet puppy dog eyes.

“Fuck, I always gave into him when he pulled that face!” Then I wiped my eyes. “Seems even in the afterlife he can guilt me into doing what he wants!
