Paris, France

-



Fiction
 
How are you feeling? I asked.

Max sighed. Overwhelmed.

Why?

With a breathless awe in his voice, Max said, I just can't believe I'm in Paris, France.

I shook my head. You don't say Paris, France, Max. That's an address on an envelope. It's like saying you live in New York, New York.

But it's so amazing.

I smiled at him. No. You're the one who's amazing.



Based on a story by Philip Gefter titled Elizabeth New Jersey.

Hehehe.

Funny. This reminds me of the time when my ex-bff and I were in a bathhouse in Rome. Everyone was wearing their white towels like togas, and the fool gushed

"I feel like I'm in Rome!"

Naturally, my only response could be: "That's probably because we are, silly!"

Once while in North Carolina, I told someone that I was flying to Athens from there. He thought I was going to Athens, Georgia. Close shave. In fact, I flew to Athens, Greece through Atlanta, Georgia.
