For Christmas: The Angel Mercy
While I struggle thru the rest of chap. 4, I would like to share with you this never published, (not for lack of trying), classic from a writer called P. I. Volkens.
If you took the Denver Post back in the late 70's and early 80's, you knew Phyllis I. Volkens. Her byline appeared in the paper several times a month. She was in the world wide edition of Readers Digest, twice.
Her work has appeared in four of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series as well as in other publications around the country. Phyllis passed away from cancer in 1996.
Now for the legal jumbo: story and its re-edit from 2006 are protected with registered copywrite. Any attempt to re-post, publish et al will be met with incredible anger and lawsuit from the estate of P.I. Volkens.
"Why not stay awake now? Who wants to sleep now with so much happening, so much to see? Life used to be dull you see...and you don't have to sleep alone, you don't even have to sleep at all; and so, all you have to do is show the stick to the dog now and then and say, 'Thank God for nothing.'"
Drusilla, "The UNVANQUISHED. William Faulkner
