Sucker #1: the tragic blueprint
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The letter carried brief instructions: 'Meet me at the corner of the street', it read. But who was it from? Mystified, Yearl Yancy began to ruminate about all of his older acquaintances... particularly female friends both platonic and romantic ones.
Yearl was always the marrying kind but many of his friends whether platonic or romantic ones did not want to marry him...He was in their honest opinion a good lay and even a better listener but too short to be their hubby..Yearl was never bitter nor vindictive about this but rather he was on the immediate surface nonchalant about it but in private before 7 years of sobriety from alcohol addiction..he would drown his sorrows having drunken pity parties by himself... When drunk he was usually alone and usually after a failed marriage proposal...
Who could have sent this letter to me & why ? is it Bertha? she knew I always wanted her.to be my wife.. maybe she finally came around . no it could not be her she's got Devin her soulmate since highschool..no it's not her...what about Sheena..oh yeah she was a fine high yellow tone sista.. maybe she wants to walk down the isle with me & be my lady... wait..she became a nun.. she's probably the finest nun I ever saw.. she's married to the Catholic church..no it ain't sheena.... Mankind's lost and of course, the churches gain....Boy do I miss Sheena but God has her now... All of what we might have been iss just a dream now.. She's devoted to God... What a lost for me.....then out of nowhere he heard a voice..a familiar voice with a higher pitch...no! my GOD..say it ain't so...no damn way...Bob that can't be you..hell naw..Bob..my old frat brother... that can't be...." it's me...I have under gone a sex change....I now go by the name Barbra & I am now living as a woman...I want you to know that when we were pledging the fraternity I always was in love with you...I wanted us to meet here where we used to double date I our lady friends ..I must admit that while I was beside you getting busy with those beautiful women I always had eyes for you Yearl... Yearl became agitated he felt God had played a cruel joke on him...he felt like cutting his wrist or drinking alcohol laced with anti freeze.... suddenly the urge to jump from the empire state building became a fixation...Then all of a sudden he began to remember the old Bob.... began to remember the good times they shared as frat....he knows he is not a homosexual like Bobby who now lives as a woman but he also is a sentimental person & Bob who is now Barbra must be let down easy..he realizes that it took courage for Bob now Barbra to state his case emotionally...but Yearl realized that he could not ever be Barbra s lover because in his mind he remembered when he was Bob... additionally he was too self aware to be homosexual especially when he was a sexually frustrated middle aged heterosexual... Barbra..I don't drink anymore...I want have coffee with you not as your lover because i could never be..only as your friend...Barbra looked down..& replied...I don't want you in my life that way..........we can't be mere friends...I am still in love with you... Good bye Yearl.. With tears in his eyes Barbra walk out of Yearls life..he not getting Yearl & unfortunately , Yearl ,in turn not finding his forever Bride... I'm holding on Yearl.. reflected..
THE END... DIG?
