Liberty's Sparkle (43)

   
   "Liberty's Sparkle (43)"
   
   Before the angel of death carried Tom into the Loving Father's Arms, he confessed to Liberty:  "I've always felt so lazy and guilty.  Bizarre thoughts I never wanted, an inability to gel with society, and compulsions to hate myself."
   Liberty responding:  "Their ignorance Tom.  You had neurological problems--a basal ganglia gone hyperactive since birth; next, a tumor, making things worse.  How can you teach a man to fish with no arms?"
   Tom died shortly thereafter, shaking uncontrollably; then, into the Otherworld, where those that mourn are comforted.
   Wanda's husband Jacob felt a twinge of guilt for not helping, but he was obedient unto a manipulative, cruel spouse--her afflicted with the demons of self love.
   Faye assisted Liberty with the cremation, the twosome not being able to afford a proper and righteous burial.  They never heard a word from Wanda or Tom's other sister, writing him off as a sluggish loser.
   Liberty wept.  Faye too.  Spanky observing sadly, all due to sinister circumstance that drove them to poverty, due to nothing save illness and lack of mercy.
    "What will we do now?"  Liberty asked Faye with tears running down her face.
   Faye embraced Liberty with love:  "Continue being hated by the masses.  Their opinions and ignorance based only on pride."
