Please discuss at will.
PLEASE NOTE: The story you are discussing is a JOKE. It is a SPOOF NEWS story written on a SPOOF NEWS website.

This is 4 months before MW died of Covid. It speaks of a very rich and interesting way of life; very different than the one most of us have chosen to live. I don’t remember the last time my wife drove me to work on the back of a motorcycle, but that’s just as well.

This story speaks of someone in desperate financial straits because of a pandemic and a system where teachers pay stopped when the government shut down the schools. That didn’t happen in my country.

It speaks of a wife, a mother ( MW had children ) very soon to be a widow and a widow in financial straits.

At the end of our literary efforts here at The Spoof, there is a statement claiming that the stories are not real.

But this story is not a parody nor a satire. It is not at all entirely fictitious. This is what was going on in his life just before he died.

I feel we have ignored this incredible tragedy. This didn’t fully occur to me until I read this story the day before yesterday.

I wonder if there anyone in the Spoof “family” who can think of a way in which his family could be assisted? If there is, I would be happy to help. It seems like the time of year when this kind of effort would be appropriate.

God bless us everyone.
