utley adams was walking down the street when he met norris leroy.
hello norris, he said, what is going on with you?
nothing, norris replied with a sad face. nothing ever happens to me.
well, that is not so bad, is it? utley answered. if nothing happens to you, that means nothing bad is happening, right?
that is one way of looking at it, norris agreed. all the same i wish something, anything, would happen to me.
well, perhaps something will. one never knows, does one?
i suppose not, norris agreed. and they went their separate ways.
utley did not encounter norris for some time after that.
one day utley met conrad vinson.
say, utley asked conrad, have you seen norris leroy lately?
oh, conrad replied. have you not heard? he disappeared.
disappeared? something must have happened to him.
i suppose it must have, conrad agreed.
he always wanted something to happen to him, utley said, and now it seems that he got his wish.
conrad nodded. if you say so, he declared disinterestedly.
on that note they parted.
