The Gift

Wedding. Condolences. Birthday, humorous. Birthday from the cat? Weiss’ eyeroll attracted the clerk’s attention.

“With fake holidays and niche marketing, you’d expect a ‘Welcome back from the dead’ card.”

“Don’t have those,” the clerk replied like Weiss was an old woman hunting for a thirty-cent card.

Blank seemed attractive, but Weiss was no Robert Frost. Given free reign, he’d scribble something inappropriate. “Good luck with those missing two years,” had a catchy ring to it.

“The right gift needs no card,” the clerk offered. “Do you have the right gift?”

Weiss eyed the book’s worn dust jacket. “I hope so.”
