the system only dreams in total darkness

"Look out, Moish!"
The shout came just in time. The king of kosher dill pickles jumped to safety as the wrecking ball crashed into the sidewalk right where he'd been standing.
"What the heck!" shouted Moishe, waving his fist at the crane driver. "I'm walking here!"
But it wasn't the crane driver's fault.
The Angel of Near Misses wanted to shake Moishe up. It wanted to scare the king of dill pickles (kosher) out of his waking slumber and bring him back to life.  
​"You ok, Uncle Moish," said his nephew.
"Hundreds, Rudy. I know it sounds crazy but I almost feel alive again." THE END
