Monologue of a Friend

Hi, 

This is your best friend.  

Your best friend since day one, since moment one.  

I was right there when you entered the world, screaming and crying.

An Unlucky Remembrance

Many people think they have terrible luck.  

Maybe you get pinkeye. Pink eye, you think to yourself, who the hell

gets pink eye past elementary school. Of course it’s me. And sure,

all credit to you, that's unlucky. But that is

nothing – and I mean nothing compared to Mike Platz.
