YESTERDAY'S TRAGEDY

IT'S THE SAME STORY ALL THE TIME.
OUR LIFE TOGETHER'S ON THE LINE.
IT MAY BE IMPRACTICAL...

WORN DOWN AND DIRTY FROM A LONG DAY AT WORK, LIES A YOUNG MAN OF 24.
ASLEEP IN HIS ARMCHAIR WITH THE TV ON, HE KNOCKS HIS DRINK ON THE FLOOR. THE MORNING COMES AROUND, NOW HIS MEMORIES GONE. LOOKS LIKE YESTERDAY'S TRAGEDY. HIS MIND'S MADE UP. THIS IS NOT WHO HE WANTED TO BE.

WAKIN' UP. HE KNOWS HE'S GOTTA GO IN BUT HISS PASSION IS GONE. ALL HE'S GOT, ARE REMINDERS SLEEPIN' BY HIM THAT ARE KEEPING HIM STRONG.

IT'S THE SAME STORY ALL THE TIME. OUR LIFE TOGETHER'S ON THE LINE. IT MAY BE IMPRACTICAL. PICK UP THE PIECES.

HE'S GOT HIS SCHEDULE DOWN. TWO FEET ON THE GROUND. A CLEAR SHOT AT CONSISTANCY. NOW HIS MIND'S MADE UP. THIS IS NOT WHO HE WANTED TO BE.
