In the cool shade and the afternoon sun discovered lifeless next to an empty bottle of whiskey. As to why this distant cemetery was his choice for getting drunk is unknown until later. Waiting for him to sober up to ask why he chose a bone yard a few miles from home when he lived closer to a different one. not to get drunk then wander to somewhere it had to be more than that or maybe just wanted to find a quiet place to drink the agony came to him and wanted to live there. Who knows what kind of thoughts are in the mind of a dying man not to be shared with anyone but his soul and maker. Thoughts like these should only be shared in the grave. He was asked why he chose this marker to lay drunk next to and his answer was: “Because the person here is dead and I came to join her”
His love affair died and whiskey is the romance that replaced her.
He chose sobriety for the rest of his life.
He learned that there is no love in whiskey.
see ya’ next time
