Good Stories
Today we will write
good stories and maybe I’ll tell the story
of Michael an older man in my class
at Goddard Riverside many years ago.
Michael was an Italian opera singer,
master crossword puzzler,
hoarder who hadn’t let anyone into his home
in years. A man who said he’d never
been in love. One day he told the class
that he’d auditioned to sing at Temple Emanuel
for the High Holy Days (he auditioned often
and never got the part) and John sitting next to him,
a former priest, charismatic, talkative,
auditioning too, John got the job
and invited Michael to dinner at a Chinese
restaurant. Michael loved Chinese food.
They went and became instantly
inseparable. Michael even invited John
into his house. What happened next?
