'Every cloud' by Jo Putt
Quickly
rallying after the sudden violent deaths of my parents in separate, freak
accidents, I faced up to the daily indignities and cruelties meted out to me by
my remaining family. I took immediate steps to overcome my illiteracy and inherited
stupidity and, to finance my intellectual betterment, elected to sell the organs
and limbs I would not need. Liberated from so many bodily concerns, I achieved
unimagined academic heights and rose, like a child’s balloon, above and beyond
the institutions that had nurtured me, floating high and free on great silver-lined
clouds of pure and untainted thought
