His own, personal ‘use by’ date was up.
He knew this because he was no longer on the bus going home, but in some kind of waiting room. He was sitting alone. There were several chairs, but he was the only… only what? He didn’t know. He was watching the man sitting at his desk, going through a lot of paperwork. The man finally beckoned him over with a twitch of his finger. He got up and sat back down on the chair provided. He could now get a proper look at all of the ledgers and loose paperwork that the interviewer had been looking at. He supposed the word ‘interviewer’ applied, although he wasn’t sure.
The man began to tidy up the paperwork. “According to these records,” he began, “you should have expired. Several days ago, as a matter of fact.” He shrugged his shoulders. “Have you had any near-death experiences recently, like being nearly hit by a car or struggling to get back to shore after being dumped by a huge wave, for instance?”
“Not that I’m aware of, no.”
The other grunted and whispered, “Odd.”
The man squirmed in his chair. “Does this sort of thing happen very often?”
“No. It’s quite rare, in fact. I’m only called in for these special cases.” He grinned. “I must say, it’s a welcome change from my regular duties. You know… routine bookkeeping.”
The expired man frowned.
“I can arrange for a short delay of course.”
“How long a delay?”
“Can’t tell you that, I’m afraid. It’s the best I can do.”
He heard himself saying “OK”, when he found himself back on the bus. He felt a little strange, like coming out of a dream. Maybe he nodded off. Either way, his stop was coming up and he was looking forward to getting home and having tea. She said she was doing a Tuna Casserole tonight. A favourite of his.
Getting off the bus, he went and stood at the pedestrian crossing. The light turned green and he began to walk.
The truck came out of nowhere.
