Weekend Miracle
For years I’ve waited for the day when I can pronounce the revelation of a miracle. This morning in the shower, I knew that day had arrived.
It started like any other shower, with the washing and the scrubbing and the standing there trying to wake up. I was in there for 10 minutes, thinking of coffee and trying to force that horrible Jennifer Lopez song from the Rhapsody commercial out of my head, when I spotted it.
There on my shower curtain was the apparition of Edgar Allen Poe. He was clear as the morning itself.
Poe is one of my favorite writers and I’m honored by his appearance. I don’t know why he chose today for his return to Philadelphia, or why he wants to watch me shower, but I’m grateful that he’s there.
*postscript: After a period of deep consultation, I’ve decided that Edgar Allen Poe has appeared to me in order to bear a message of great import: It’s time to clean my shower curtain. I plan to heed his warning on Sunday afternoon.
In my own defense, but for a thin band of Poe birthing mold, my shower curtain is clean and sanitary.

NO! Don’t sell it on ebay! Not yet, anyways!
You need to contact the local media first and get them to do a story on it. This will generate regional interest and eventually, national wonder!
Then, you can open your shower shrine to the general public, allowing all the feast their eyes on the miracle for themselves, experience stigmata or random samples of creative yet horrific writing, random thoughts of bricking people into walls, etc, and then, once you’ve tapped into that power…
…then you sell it on Ebay and hold out for the biggest bid by a certain Las Vegas company.

Well, I’m certainly not a genius, though if I was certifiable, would you be able to tell the difference?
