One Of A Kind

Let me go

A man and his best friend are sitting in the living room watching television. They're watching the news.

"Tonight we have updates about the terrible train accident that happened near Nashville Tennessee. Emergency Services have informed us that 140 people were pronounced dead at the scene and another 38 injured."

The man looks over at his best friend, "I remember that, we were on that train."

"Yes, we were." His best friend says solemnly.

The man smiles. "I'm so glad we survived together."

"We?" His friend asks. The man looks at him, confused.

The man nods his head "Yes, we. They pulled us both out at the same time remember?"

His best friend turns to him with the saddest look on his face. "You have to let me go.."

The man laughs, "What do you mean 'let you go?'"

"Just look around you!" His best friend shouts.

There's trash and moldy food. Everywhere. The blinds are closed and the man had realized he had been wearing the same clothes for a month.

"We didn't make it" his best friend says to him. When he turns to look at him, a single tear falls down his face. His best friend is covered in blood, his hoodie torn to shreds and cuts all over his face.

"You need to let me go."

Oh.. I guess I'd forgotten.

He died that day.
