God, from this he sounds just like George. But this is the best part:

Carlin points to the ground beneath a thick pine tree, near a rustling stream.
"We put some of George's ashes here," he says in the same street-smart way of speaking as George, who died last June at 71. "And then a bear comes by and takes a big dump. When we called George's daughter, Kelly, she says, 'Oh, Dad would be so happy.'"
A pause.
"The whole family rejoiced."
 
Superb piece, Killick, thanks for sharing.

My favorite line in a runaway:
"I'm a stick shift, baby, in an automatic transmission world."
 
This line from Patrick sounded like something George-like:

"I haven't worn a watch for years. It's always now. Then all of a sudden, it's then."

Loved the story.
 
I sincerely am not being snide, but is there more to the story than what I saw?

It wasn't even 500 words, which is making me think I'm missing something.

Yeah, I had the same thought. It was definitely ... strangely presented.
