(S15) - PT3 - Namesake

[br0_0ker]

There is a man out in the world that shares the name of Norfolk great Ahri Espeeyeeseetee, but he is about as far from the Pennsylvania legend as anyone could be. Forlorn and alone, this alternate AE (AE2 we shall call him) spends his days bagging groceries at the local Stop-And-Shop. His wife left him for a better looking man that makes more money and can satisfy her sexually; his kids barely talk to him any more and won't return his calls; he's months late on bills and rent and his landlord is threatening to evict him; and to top it all off his insurance was recently cancelled due to a fraudulent claim on his account, and he doesn't have any other means to get to work other than his '71 Pinto. His hairline is receding, last week he lost another tooth. He lost most of his retirement in the 2008 recession, since he had invested most of it in mortgage bonds, and what little money he had left he used to buy bitcoin when everyone was selling late January of 2018 (it has to come back up, right?). Despite all this, AE2 goes about his life greeting everyone with a smile and a high-five, for he knows his stage 4 lung cancer is going to kill him and all his worries will be over soon.
