Jukebox Character

Hi My name is Charlie and I always kept my showers cold, used eco friendly light bulbs and used my bike when the gasoline prices rose, never swam in the ocean for fear of shark attacks and I gave my wife a rose with a card attached that should get me into heaven right? Well I was driving and I died of a sudden heart attack. Suddenly I was on a golden escalator and I turend around and saw all my friends and neighbors standing over my dead body. “Catch ya later” I yelled. “I’m off to see the big man upstairs!”. There was an angel at the entrance checking off a guest list but for some reason I wasn’t on it? I screamed “excuse me sir, there must be someone you’ve confused me for!” but it was no used, and I was dragged down to hell.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Anna looked at the ground. Her eyes filled with dismay as she sits on on a sidewalk in Italy. A hat in the shape of a lamb on her head. The last thing her father gave her until he died of a disease. Her mother left her for a rich guy, now Anna wanders the streets alone, hoping for some change from passersby. The only thing she has besides her hat is her tiny painty which she plays constantly in hope that someone will notice her.
