finish putting up my “We Don’t Call 911” sign
fall off ladder on my way down and break my leg
my wife runs out in a panic
she looks up at the sign and looks back at me
she knows what I must do and hands me my pistol
I’m sorry Angela
wife runs back inside with tears rolling down her face
tell my children to go in the house
”We don’t dial 911″ I sob as I put the barrel in my mouth
God Bless America
