An Angel in a Wrinkled Wrapper
Hank was an old scourge of a man, divorced a couple of times over and getting more bitter with each and every slow day he had to wake up. He wasn’t always so bitter. Over the years, he went from youth and love with all the trappings of intertwined bliss to a gradual stripping away of each component he needed to have what he wished for in a full life.
He was angry, and he blamed himself. Even though each good thing was pulled away, he couldn’t help wondering “If I was just strong enough; I would be happy with a wife and kids.”
