Unsane Sam - Chapter 1

UNSANE SAM

Chapter 1

Sam didn’t go unsane until his 24 birthday. I say “unsane” because Sam thought his sanity was sky rocketing him onto the moon. Sam thought that his sanity was the direct opposite of insane which would naturally make him unsane. You get it?

The 24th birthday of a man is sometimes a painful thing. Especially when everyone leaves you all alone at your table at the Claim Jumper to go on about their business; to be busy with their lives, before you get your piece of birthday cake. When the waitress brought it out, she and a couple other co-workers sang the Claim Jumper Birthday Anthem “Happy, happy birthday from Claim Jumper to you! Happy, happy birthday from Claim Jumper to you HEY!” This happened to Sam on his 24th birthday.

Sam sat there all alone at the very large table, that normally Sam would be wondering what kind of wood that the table was made out of. So Sam sat at the large table in the Claim Jumper restaurant, surrounded by people who are enjoying their lunch with their families, while he blew out the single candle on top his Mudpie. When he closed his eyes to make his wish, tears rolled out of both eyes.

This was his wish: “God, please let me be happy.”

On other birthdays with more candles and more family singing and cheering, Sam would wish for things like guitars, certain girls that would fall in love with him, and fame and fortune (which by the way has always been something that has eluded him). But, today Sam’s only wish is that God would make him happy.

Sam then realized that his unsanity was very rapidly flowing through him. To Sam this is a curse. Not on its own, but it is a curse because Sam was already cursed, with another curse!
