Yeah please save them!
old prose from reddit
I could not sleep, awakened afraidUnder the covers, I begged, I prayed,
For dawn, or death, for sleep to come
But mercy ungranted, I knew I was done.
For I committed a most awful crime
One for which we've all done time
Exactly the same or slighty changed,
Have we all made this same mistake?
I went to Woolies to buy a snack,
The cashier smiled, I smiled back
Items scanned, transaction completed
She said the words that have me defeated
Smiles and waves, "Enjoy your coffee and snack!"
"You too!" I regretfully cried back
Unthinking, unblinking, mid-step away
I died there, in Woolies, that very day.
ehehe, thats great.
