Man Watching Movie, “Dear God, It Burns”
May 19th, 2008 | By Leslie Fox | Category: News
Philadelphia, PA - In a center city apartment a man sat quietly drinking beer and eating olives spiced with red pepper. He had already watched the total destruction of the Flyers at the hand of the Pittsburgh Penguins and was now watching Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. It’s a movie about shame and failure on a catastrophic level. The kind of movie that makes one say, “The director hates everyone, and me in particular. That’s the only possible reason he could have for subjecting me to this much misery.”
The beer was cold, bitter, and slightly sweet, it was ideal for washing down the oily heat of the peppered olives. Together they created a pleasant warmth under the diaphragm that helped take the edge off a cold rainy night and a brutal movie. Then the man went to use the bathroom. He did not wash his hands before using the bathroom. As of press time he is in stable condition.
