Old Man Charlie : A Short Story
Old man Charlie was turning 76 tomorrow. Charlie believed that his 76th birthday was his expiration date considering his dad died at 76, his grand dad, and his great granddad. All on their birthdays despite being healthy as a horse. At the last-minute old man Charlie decided to do what had not been done by the 3 men before him and do everything he wanted that he could before his death date. First thing he decided to do was going to go pay his ex-cheating wife's husband a visit. Old man Charlie knocked on the door and after the third knock his ex-wife swung the door open.
"What do you want? "She greeted.
Charlie walks right past her and went straight to the kitchen where her current 70-year-old husband was standing. His ex-followed him. He swung his fist as fast as he could and punched him right in the nose. "What the hell was that for?"
"Bitch you didn't know I knew you guys were cheating behind my back before the divorce was final huh, you knew that was my wife ya prick??"
The two were left in awe, her husband standing there with a bloody nose and wife her jaw to the floor. Charlie left. He still had a lot to do. Charlie hadn't had sex in 20 years and his social security check had just been deposited. He decided to buy himself some Viagra and hoo-ha. Old man Charlie drove over to where he knew the pussy was standing on the street and picked up the first black girl he seen. He had never had sex with a black girl, but he heard they were wild in the bedroom.
"So, what can Diamond do for you daddy?" The prostitute asked.
"I want you to fuck me like it's your last day on earth and we are the only two on this mother fucker on it." He responded.
Old man Charlie checked them into the nearest hotel and once in the room, Diamond dropped her clothes to the floor. Charlie got an instant bone and grabbed her by the hair and went to drilling her from the back. Diamond moaned and screamed up until he was tired enough to let her get on top. His hands explored her body and felt like he was on X. It was the best sex he had in his life. It was worth it. He put $200 on the table and told her the room was hers for the night. Before he walked out the door, he asked her where he could find drugs. For his entire 76 years on earth, he had been sober. That was about to change. Diamond pointed him in the right direction, and he pulled up on her friend Chico.
"Diamond said I can buy drugs from you."
"Whatcha looking for old man?" Chico asked.
"I am about to die man, give me what you recommend."
Chico handed him a gram of coke through the window. "40 "Chico said. "Take it easy."
Old man Charlie snorted a couple of lines and pulled off headed to the casino. Once he arrived, he jumped on the blackjack table. In only 30 minutes he had lost $420. He was so high he didn't even care. He didn't plan on paying his rent, but he thought to himself he still needed money. He went over to the bar, order a beer and began to think about he could make some quick money. He wanted to leave his daughter some cash. Then it hit him.
"Ima rob me a fucking bank. "He shouted out loud. The bar tender laughed out loud. Okay honey she said in disbelief as she wiped down the table. He left and headed straight to the bank. Charlie didn't have a gun but after snorting another line he thought a crowbar would do the trick. Old man Charlie walked into the bank and slapped the security guard in the face with the crowbar.
"Just stay down there man, I gotta bad back and I prefer not to get down there and beat the shit out of you, I might not be able to get up and then I'll have to kill you down there." Charlie said before snatching the guard's gun from his holster. Charlie shot one in the air.
"Just get on the floor." Charlie yelled as loud as his old lungs would allow him.
With his eyes wide as they can go, Charlie went to the first clerks' desk and told her to put all the money from every drawer in a trash bag he got out of his trunk. The clerk did as she was told and handed him the bag. Charlie didn't want to get greedy because he knew the police were probably on their way. He grabbed the bag and ran out the door.
"Open up Olivia" he said banging on his daughter's front door.
"What is it dad? What is it?" Olivia questioned in a panicky voice as she opened the door.
Old man Charlie had just robbed a bank and got away with it, so he thought, and he was bringing the money straight to his baby girl.
"I'm dying tomorrow, and I just wanted to drop this off to you since I wasn't able to do all a father should.
"Daddy, are you high on something?" His daughter asked
"Yeah, I gotta go baby girl. I love you." Old man Charlie kissed his daughter goodbye and took off as soon as he heard police sirens. He had one last thing he wanted to do before he died and considering he didn't wear a mask, he knew the police would be looking for him. Old man Charlie pulled to an old diner his ma and pa used to take him to eat. They had the best meatloaf and mashed potatoes and that was his favorite meal. When he went in he ordered his usual with a coffee . His high had come down and he was beginning to feel like crap. Charlie ate his meal and went on home and fell passed out.
The next day . He woke up with a major headache in the late afternoon. Charlie assumed it would not be long before he would just die somehow so he just laid on his coffee table where he woke up. Charlie thought about his day yesterday and was satisfied but wondered how long it would be before the police found him. He hoped it was after his death but little did he know they were already outside surrounding his house.
"Charlie, come out with your hands up." He heard over a loudspeaker.
"Awe, fuck that, come and get me." He said to himself.
Charlie didn't move a bit and after about 20 minutes. The police bussed down his door to a dead old man Charlie. He had died of a heart attack and left a note behind.
