Other People's Lives

 Friend 1 had her partner appear to her a couple of weeks after his death.

He was there for an instant, dressed in the outfit he'd worn to the funeral.

She told a friend and the friend said, "Have you any idea how hard it was for him to do that?"


Friend 2 saw The Doors performing live at the Roundhouse.

She was disappointed. Jim Morrison spent much of the gig lying flaked out on the floor.

But with hindsight doesn't it make a better story than if he'd been prancing about as he usually did?
