A Sad Man with a Broken Heart

by Ritsuki Kuninaka  
  
The other day, I read a story in the newspaper about a short fat man, crying in his Speedos. His name was John X, a citizen of Norway, and he was thirty-five years old. The story went on to say that he was a famous biologist in his home country. In 2006, he was awarded the Nobel Prize. But 2008, he was arrested by the FBI because he used his cell phone as a weapon against helpless microorganisms on a Petri dish in his laboratory. And he lost his job.

After he was released, he started studying about the penny. Because he loved pennies and he wanted to be a scholar like a biologist again. He had been thinking about what to study. Something hard was an ideal task for him. He collected a truck load of pennies and studied them very hard. Then he made many documents that were written about the penny's history. The process as to how pennies were made and so on. He knew he was going to write a striking book about this. He bet his life on the book to succeed again. The documents were very important for his future.

On a hot summer day, he went to Family Mart. When he was walking around Family Mart, he found a nice body woman outside of Family Mart who was eating the most expensive ice cream called, "before spring thaw melts Fuji-san's ice". An old man who was walking in front of the woman dropped his coins but he didn’t notice. She picked it up and passed it to him with a beautiful smile. At that moment John X's body became extremely heated by a burning passion, and he fell in love with her.

After he left Family Mart, he met his friend Lion, and John told him about the woman. He just talked about how she was beautiful. He had no information about her. He didn’t even know her name. In the middle of talking, Lion said, "oh probably it’s Kristine." Actually Lion was the woman's friend. He asked Lion about her a lot. According to his information, her name was Kristine. She was twenty-eight years old and rich. She came to Norway from London on her summer vacation. Now, she stayed at a five-star hotel. Lion said "we are having lunch at my house tomorrow. You should come. "

The next day, John X was at Lion’s house with Lion and Kristine. John felt happy to meet her again but also very nervous and couldn’t speak to her at all. But Lion made the lunch fun and close between John X and Kristine. After this lunch, John X and Kristine kept good relation for six months and they became a couple. After 2 years, he was ready to put on The Tuxedo and propose to her.

From this day, he started his new beautiful life. They took walks and talked of their undying love every day. But after a while, he noticed that she began to do some rather nasty deeds. She developed a seriously bad attitude. But he kept on loving her. She was the right person for him, he believed.

One Sunday morning, when he was eating sweet honey on toast with cinnamon, suddenly she came to him and said, "I've just got a new boyfriend. He is funny at making jokes. He is not like you. I was seeking a faithful man like you before. But I found you are really quite boring and make my days dreadfully so. My dream is to run away from these days so I don’t have to live in this Zombie land anymore."

At the time of her disappearance, he realized she had robbed hi of his penny’s documents. Actually Kristine Jones was a secret agent. She approached him to steal his documents and become rich. This meant that she took his future and the best memory in his life.


Today too, he is howling at one picture that is in her under a heavy wool black blanket and crying, bumping, pushing, pulling and pawing. He still mutters to himself, "She was like a beautiful blonde bombshell who exploded in my life."
