South of the River. (21)

Old Geezer. 1 Get that down yer.

Old Geezer 2.A pint of Plain. Your only man. So, what’s up? The Black Dog again?

Not exactly. More like a perfect storm ..of realisations.

Meaning?

Firstly, Life is meaningless, in the grand scheme of things, in the vastness of the universe and time. Secondly Life, here anyway, evolved into…us , thousands of years of sadistic slaughter, the average person is a potential nazi. Finally old age is unpleasant at best. And for most a waking nightmare.

And your solution?

Take control. End it now! Painlessly if possible.

Let me get this straight. If you can you’ll end it all.

All that’s left is pain of one kind or another.

You’d better get a round in then. Who was the Tentmaker of Nishapur by the way?

Omar Khyaam.
