Posted under Episode 125, Story On By Chief

It's the 4th of July, so your neighbor decides to launch fireworks. He accidentally launch the fireworks at your new house. The fireworks blow up the roof and wreck the house.

Your neighbors wife is killed in the explosion, along with several other people. What do you do?

You go to the basement on your easy lift chair and go to your old army chest and find your rifle.

You also look for some food and water.

You gear up and invade your neighbor who launched the fireworks house. You take over his home by force.

> You take Over His Home by Force You grab your gun from the basement. You start walking towards your neighbor. Your neighbors wife is dead, along with many others. You don't care anymore, you just want revenge.

You call your old war buddies on the phone and tell them "It's time to go to war.".

They all agree and you head out to the front door. You stand there holding your pistol ready. You see your neighbor coming down the stairs. He sees you and raises his hands as if surrendering. He calls out to you "Hello my friend, it's me again. I'm sorry for what happened last time, but we're not enemies any more".

Your neighbor says "We are not enemies anymore Mr Horkowitz! Please let me live!"

> You shoot him! He looks like he wants to say something else but he can't get out the words. "I'll give you anything you want...just let me live..". You fire your pistol at him. Bullets hit him right in the face. The bullets tear through his face and into his brain causing him to fall backwards onto the floor.

You feel conflict inside you. Was killing him the right thing to do?

Or was this wrong?

You look at a photo on the wall and see it is a German woman you had a fling with during the war. You notice how much your neighbor looks like you. You put two and two together and realize this must be your estranged son.

You wonder why you never told him about this before. This may have been the only chance he would ever have to know that his father loved him. He was always jealous of your success and money. He thought he could never achieve such things. Now he will finally get a chance to meet his dad.

You place your gun in your own mouth and think about ending your own life. You are very old and have nothing left to live for. Your life flashes before your eyes.

You were once one of the greats, but now you are nothing more than an old man suffering from dementia. You wish you could end it all. The next day, you wake up and remember everything. You hear your neighbor calling out to you. You rush downstairs and see him standing outside.

It was all just a nightmare! You join your neighbor for a 4th of July BBQ and have a great time, until the fireworks get set off and you pull out your gun.
