Astral Projection Dating
Astral Dating – Part One
Astral projection, out of body experiences and dating were farther away than the last things on Egan’s mind as he wheeled his chair across the windy street: he hurt everywhere and even the biting wind seemed to chew on his broken body. He had to stop in the crosswalk because a car hurtled by in the next lane: it sent small hurricanes of dust and bits of litter to sandblast Egan even worse. A flyer-sized paper smacked the paraplegic pedestrian in the face.
Automatic Astral Projection
‘Try Astral Dating’. Egan read the astral projection slogan before the paper lodged against his nose. Then he was temporarily blinded by the wind-blown astral dating flyer pressed against his face. His hands moved jerkily to remove the astral projection flyer and while doing so he felt the close passage of another motorist in too much of a hurry to wait for the wheelchair-bound pedestrian.

“Go ahead and finish the job of killing me.” He muttered as he peeled off the flyer that offered the Astral Dating Service. And a whirlwind of dust tore the astral projection dating paper from his fingers. The dating ad flew around his neck and lodged between the back of his chair and his back: right where he couldn’t possibly reach it. He would need some out of body fingers to dislodge the astral projection pamphlet pinned to his shoulders like a ‘kick-me’ sign.
Egan’s whole recent life was as if he was wearing a ‘kick-me’ sign. His parents had been killed in the same accident that left him crippled. But since the driver of the other vehicle was drunk at the time, the insurance didn’t have to pay. The drunk driver then got a lawyer to absolve him of any responsibility.
The life insurance Egan’s parents had was quickly used up for the double funeral – which he couldn’t attend because he was in the hospital. Where the medical bills and the doctor fees quickly chewed through the rest of Egan’s money.
Shiva’s Messenger
“Astral projection dating.” The young man scoffed as he finished crossing the street. “I just wish I could astral project to and from the food bank.” Going anywhere in his manual wheelchair was difficult and gave him pain because his arms were not in much better shape than his useless legs were. “But the money for powered chairs is needed for those who are too obese to walk. And so they just get more obese but that seems to be what the system wants. If I could get an astral date, my astral girlfriend wouldn’t have a body to push my wheelchair with.” Egan amused himself with some fantasizing about dating an astral projected girl and he gave himself a chuckle for the rest of his painful and exhausting trip home. “An out of body experience might take me briefly away from my body’s pain too.”
