VERY Short Story 2: Its that day!

Its been itching inside his head,since morning. He has forgotten something.Something really important. Something meaningful had happened today,which he cannot remember. All morning his wife and son had been staring towards him. He knew right away something was not right.

In office he could not focus on work. Made lots of mistakes performing the simplest of tasks.It was strange that unlike other days people didn't get offended by his lack of interest in work. Something was not right.

He took off early from the office. Parked his car and dashed into his favorite pub to grab a beer. The alcohol didn't help his grey cells either. The more he consumed it,the more miserable he became. There were lots of calls from his wife and son.He decided not to answer them. He knew something was not right.

Reluctantly he drove back home and pushed his way through the stairs. He knew that the moment he opened the door there may be a catastrophic event waiting to happen...It might tear his world apart. A world he put together bit by bit over the past 40 years.

He unlocked the key and opened the door.There was a loud bang followed by a clatter...



His family and office colleagues were clapping to wish him a very happy 40th birthday!
