"Joe can you ..."she heard the door close. "one of these days Joe" she said under her breath, and went to tend to her child. "your dad is such a workaholic" she said holding her son, and giving him a bottle. Meanwhile outside Joe is in the garage fixing his truck. he went inside, got ready for work "where are you going?". Asked adora "heaven" said Joe smiling. adora rolled her eyes "seriously there should be a workers anonymous" she said.
"will daddy be home for Christmas?" asked adora's other son. "I don't know" said adora. Deep down she knew the answer. Joe always worked, even on the holidays. He don't have a lot of money but it seems that's all he cared about...making Money.
Meanwhile at hekler's usm farm. joe fed the chickens, hogs, etc. He also plowed the hay for more money. "waw you work a lot don't you want to go home and be with your family" asked hekler "they're why I'm working" said Joe. hekler didn't know if Joe meant to run away, or as the provider.
"if you take them for granted you may end up regretting it" said hekler "I'm not. How am I going to be rich by not working?" asked Joe "I'm just saying-" but Joe walked on to start the tractor. That night Joe went home, and stayed in the garage. He checked his text messages to see if anyone texted him [profile=text get it?].
Suddenly a haze came and formed a person with long blonde hair "hi Joe" said the spirit. "wait I know you...i Saw your picture on the...OH MY GOSH I'M HAUNTED BY A USMER!" screamed Joe. moongirl laughed "you truly are a usmer. You'll be visited by three ghosts what you see keep in mind noone can see or hear you"said moongirl
"wait how is the afterlife?" asked Joe "same as this one. Only noone has to worry about organs, or nerves, or anything we're energy beings...its Cool see?" she touched Joe "ow" said Joe feeling static [aura?]. moongirl giggled, and vanished
"wait don't go" said Joe .I'm sure anyone who saw her would say that. Soon another haze appeared, and formed a girl with short brown hair "I'm the angel of usmers past" said Linda "you mean ghost" said Joe "no" said Linda "wait...your The usm angel"" asked Joe "I just said that...yes" Said Linda. The 2 appeared at the time adora, and Joe first met. "you two looked happy" said Linda
"we go great together. It's nice having someone who enjoys what I do" said Joe "are you sure she enjoys it?" asked Linda "of course why else would she help me work on the garden, and stuff?" asked Joe. "perhaps to be with you. You seem to work a lot" said Linda "how would I make money if I didn't work?" asked Joe
"how would you have time to love if you overworked?" asked Linda.. Suddenly he was at his garage again "Linda?" he asked but she also was gone. He was about to go in but a new fog formed a spirit with short blonde hair "I'm thee ghost of usmer present" said Brenda
Her and Joe went inside to see adora up, and taking care of the baby, and looking over hippies home work "why doesn't she ask for help?" asked Joe "she has tried but you work so much you never pay attention to her, or the kinds. adora feels like a single mom" said Brenda
"but I'm working to provide money, and plus we work together sometimes" said Joe "heed the warning you'll nbot like the out come if you do not change your ways" said Brenda "what? I end up alone?" asked Joe "I'm not the one to tell you that" said Brenda. They then go to the usm farm hekler and someothers are talking
at the bar "...he's A workaholic I told him he's really probably going to regret not being with his family" said hekler " "well, if he becomes rich he'll be happy " said another. "but, I don't know how much more I can pay him. I may have to tell him to find another job. He wants to much" said hekler. "you work so much that he thinks you only
Do it for more money. He don't have that much, and like you isn't very rich" explained Brenda "but, I can't find another job right now it's hard" said Joe. He was back in the garage. He took out a cigarette and started smoking. "how'll I find another job?" he thought. He heard a gong noise, and felt the room get cold. "I'm going in I'll think about it in the morning" said Joe. Suddenly the room filled with fog, he put his cigarette out but, the fog grew as a male spirit came "which deceased usmer are you?" asked Joe" I'm the ghost of usmer future...butwho I was I am no longer...who I am is no more important than who you are" said the ghost He was confused "huh?" he asked
"what I have to show you is much deeper than what I have to tell you" said the ghost. "so no name?" asked Joe "does a name tell you who a person is or does their personality" asked the ghost "wait...metaphors...randy?. Soon the 2 were at a future usm farm "this is what will come if you do not change your ways...watch, Listen, and learn" said randy hekler and roadman are talking, and radman gave hekler money "thanks for selling me this farm. I'll take good care of it" said radman
"thanks for letting me be your assistant. I can't believe I went babkrupt" said hekler "he goes bankrupt?" asked Joe "after he let you go he learned he didn't have enough money for the land. You were taking it all" said randy"I didn't know that. What about nani?" asked Joe. "is that who your really curious about?" asked randy
"no...did I find another job?...what Happened to adora and the kids?" asked Joe. They appeared at adora's parents house., and went in "we moved into her parents house?" asked Joe "no. Her, and the kids did. They couldn't afford to keep their house" explained randy "she left? We were so happy" said Joe
"some hide their broken hearts' behind a big smile. She never wanted you to see the hurt. You never swallowed your pride so it swallowed you" said randy "again...english Please." said Joe "she got tired of you being selfish, and choosing work over your family...happy?" Said randy "but, I was trying...wait...i'm Sorry" said Joe trying to get future adora's attention. "she can't see or hear you" reminded randy
"I want to go back please" said Joe "we have one more stop" said randy they appeared at a grave yard, Joe read his own name "how did I die?" asked Joe "stress can lead to horrible things when one looses control over ones life" said randy "what?" asked Joe "the heart can only take so much before it stops" randy added as he vanished
"wait!!! I can change!!...i Don't want this..."Joe was crying all of a sudden he found himself in his bed. He got up, and ran into the kitchen where adora was "oh thank goodness" said Joe hugging her "what?. Excited I'm making breakfast?" asked adora smiling
"no I just realized how lucky I am" said Joe adora laughed the baby started crying."how about tonight we all go out as a family to eat. No work or anything" said Joe "are you high, or drunk?" asked adora. Joe called hekler to tell him he was taking the weekend off. "what made you change your mind?" asked heckler
"I realized family was more important than money" said Joe. That night Joe, adora and the kids all went to paddy's palace to eat.
