Day of Judgment

Funny Stories

June 29, 2012, “I am going to pay for that on judgment day,” my friend said as we walked into our small office.

“I wish that’s all I had to worry about on my day of judgment!” I told him. My mind was digging deep into the memories of a life lived hard. Memories I refused to share with friends and colleagues here.

 Judgment day: a rock bench and sundial was all that sat between the pearly gate and me. The sundial was a curious piece, the sun was not visible from that realm but it still created a prominent shadow. The shadow only moved if I willed it to and it was just as sporadic as my will.

“Mr. Nelson,” a voice called as the gate opened.

“You didn’t make it. On June 29, 2012 you lied to your boss,” the voice said.

“Oh come on!”
