[ WP ] A Minor Event

You know, it's funny to think about, in retrospect. Especially now that I've been where I've been, and there's no changing where I'm going. 
 
 My dad always taught me to be methodical. He was a lawyer, and always took about a billion minutes to describe anything. And especially with my brief stint in programming; how precise you have to be? You'd think I'd have learned my lesson then. I guess not. 
 
 The real mystery will always be what was on that piece of paper. I guess it does n't matter anymore. 
 
 But nobody will listen to that part. They all think they know the `` real'' story. Anyways, I handed him the paper. He read it. He asked me how thick the glass looked. He fucking ate the paper, told me to let his wife know she missed some mail, and threw himself out the window. 
 
 The sound a couple seconds later was either the President hitting the pavement or the peace talks with North Korea dissolving. Either way, the two are synonymous, and eight days later, North Korea is able to annihilate Seoul with artillery before we wipe Pyongyang off the map with nukes. Iran responds by nuking Israel, we nuke Iran, and suddenly we're the international pariah. I think someday we'll catch up. Not in our lifetime, but maybe the UN will stop voting down everything we put forward in the security council. 
 
 So that's my story. I did n't push him out the window. I just wish I read *Alice* instead of *Alex*. 
 
 Does that answer your question, ma'am?
