story about the effects of alcohol sometimes.


Unhappiness

Mister Fisher hated waking up and finding
his house full of dirty dishes and crumbs all over the floor.
His closet was full of clothes he seldom wore.
He dressed in his birthday suit most of the time.
He lived way back out in the woods and there was no one
to see him but the animals and they were used to him
and his nakedness. Another thing about Mister Fisher
he preferred wearing a beard to shaving his face. he
preferred his head bald rather than having a full head
of hair. Most of his teeth were missing and the few he had
left were slowly decaying and falling out!
The animals were used to Mister Fisher making weird
sounds and waving his hands in the sky!
They were aware of his fear of nothing but himself
when he was drunk and acting crazy. When he
was drunk he was a different man, a man who
might be foolish enough to kill himself!
When he was drunk the animals feared to be
around him!

I think there are a lot of Mr Fishers about. Isolated by life. An interesting story indeed :)

We tend to romanticize the hermit, but as you show us here, it can be a lonely and sad existence.
