Collie worked with me in the same company. Every conversation begins with the phrase:

Do you still work in %companyname%?

And every time I came up with new fun answers. And every time differently: “Of course. Where do I get off the submarine? with your prayers.” and etc. etc.

The time went by, Cole retired from there and changed several jobs, and I still worked for that firm and responded accordingly.

Five years later, after a long silence, he found me in VK.

Do you still work in %companyname%?

I didn’t want to come up with answers, so I answered simply:

You are gone, Cole.

But he was not upset, he even rejoiced.

God, at last it is. I thought you would never send.
