Stories by Charles Finley

PREFACE

Have I got a story for you
     Seeing a couch being thrown out, became my idea behind this story. A Fifteen-year-old couch can absorb an unimaginable amount of humor, knowledge and wisdom; through its many years of travel from a seed to living as a couch with the same owners in the same house.

Visiting family and friends brought with them countless stories, along with their friendship, and never-ending family ties and memories, of course his faithful owner and companion “BoBo”, Unknowingly shared some of his most memorable moments and hardships with him through their time together,” BoBo” never realizing that he passed on a good portion of his personality.

Though he wasn’t always a couch, listening to his story from a seed that grew in the forest; hundreds upon hundreds of miles away makes his way through Three-hundred and fifty-seven years of personal struggles during these countries toughest time in our history.

Hearing that he might be removed from “BoBo’s” company after so many years; caused him to become bitter, angry, vulgar, and sarcastically sadistic, and a bellowing-over-bearing scratchy voice, he was able to maintain one of the funniest story-telling personas this side of the Mississippi.            

Through the years he has learned that he can only to talk to teenagers and adolescents; but his biography seen through his eyes may well educate a new generation of minds. Spoken with an “R” rating, may just appeal to a new generation and could be exactly what he was meant to do.

Being verbally dormant through countless eras and having never been able to share his experience before, somebody is about to get an earful…
