The Newly Departed ...in 12 lines

Jack comes-to; his horn is blaring; his forehead is against the steering wheel. 

A man with wings ...wings? smiles and knocks on the driver window. 

~

Jack raises his head and buzzes it down . "Who are you? Are you an angel?"

~

"I'm Michael. Yes, I've come to take you to a better place."

~

" ... Am I dead, Michael?"

~

"Yes, cerebral embolism." Michael opens the driver door.

~

"Please, Michael, No! No! No! I will not go!" 

~

"Alright, Jack, you may stay and live out your life."

~

" ... I may? ... Just like that?"

~

Michael nods. 

~

"Omigod, Michael! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

~

"Drive safe, Jack, see'ya tomorrow."
