loves
the smell
of his own farts.
Billings was different.
his
were so bad
he had to get up
and leave the room.
that’s
probably why
he never got married.
it was horrible.
no woman
stayed very long.
even his dog ran away.
twice.
which was
okay with Billings.
he didn’t mind
being alone.
he
liked
the quiet.
it
gave him
time to think.
and listen to his music.
no one
liked his music either.
life,
for Billings,
was almost perfect.
if he
could only
get used to the
smell of his own farts.
