"The Bridge" is a novel I am working on. It is the first place we go after leaving this world. There is a caretaker at this bridge that usually reunites loved ones who have gone before with the recently departed. The caretaker's name is Margie.

Chinese Food at Honolulu Café

"Hey Wade, I'm going out for some Chinese at..." JJ was cut short by Wade.

"Let me guess...Honolulu Cafe?" Wade laughed. "You are so fucking predictable, JJ!" Wade laughed at his roommate.

"You have to admit, the food is pretty good there!" JJ pointed at Wade.

"JJ, you would eat a pickled rat with onions from that place!" Wade grabbed his stuffed unicorn. "You just go there for the waitresses!" He laughed as he stroked his stuffed unicorn in a very disgusting way.

"Wade, that is one well used stuffed unicorn!" He pointed to the crusty fake purple fur stuffed animal. "Are you going for Chinese food, or what?"

Wade threw his stuffed unicorn at JJ's head removing his coke bottle glasses. "Shit, Wade. You know I can't see without my glasses!"

"You know watching Japanese porn makes you go blind!" Wade rolled his eyes.

"There's no scientific evidence that show men go blind from that!" He yelled back.

"JJ, how many fingers am I holding up?" Wade just laughed holding his middle finger up.

"Fuck you, Wade!" JJ countered.

"Well, fuck me! How'd you know I was holding up that finger?" Wade walked over to help JJ find his glasses.

Just then there was a crunching sound as Wade stepped around the sofa. He lifted his right foot to find the black framed glasses had snapped. "Ah, JJ...do you wear black framed glasses?"

"You know I do, Wade!" JJ fumbled his way to his old reclining chair. "Give them here!" He wrapped electrical tape around the bridge to hold them together. "Let's get outta here and get some food! You're buying!"

"Me?" Wade looked at JJ. "What in the ass have you been smoking?"

"You just cost me 200 bucks!" JJ scoffed.

"Race ya, loser pays!" Wade took off out the door and as he cut across the street he was struck by a car.

Wade was crushed by a Toyota Corolla. He lay there dead and now he is about to walk onto 'The Bridge'.

There he was greeted by Margie, the caretaker of the bridge.

"Again, Wade?" Margie stood at the edge of the bridge. "This is the seventh time this month. You still haven't learned how to use the crosswalk."

"Margie, good to see you again. Think I can cross the bridge today?" Wade asked the caretaker. "Why...why is Vanessa not here?"

"Wade Wilson, you know it is not time to cross the bridge." Margie pointed to the fog where he had emerged.

"But..." Wade hung his head. "423 times I have come to the bridge. I am not going back!" Wade made a break for the other side of the bridge but it was as if he was running on a treadmill. He looked to Margie standing right next to him. "How do you do that?"

"You are just not meant to be here, Wade?" Margie just shook her head.

Wade began to dissolve where he stood. He looked at his hands that he could now see through. "Shit! Margie, I will be back! Say hi to Vanessa for me...Margie!"

"Say hi to JJ and tell him not to watch so much porn!" Margie added. "It'll make him go blind!"

JJ stood over Wade in the middle of the crosswalk. "Hey, Wade! Wade! Come on, I know you're okay. It was just a Corolla!" JJ poked Wade. "It barely scratched you!"

Wade looked up at JJ. "Fuck me! That didn't work either!"

"You really need to stop working on this dying thing, Wade. It may be easier bringing Vanessa back to life." JJ offered his hand to Wade to help him off the pavement. "Not getting out of paying for my spicy bean curd that easily!"

"Arghhhh! That fucking hurt!" Wade straightened up. "What are looking at, old man?" He looked at an old Chinese man passing by.

"A fucking moron who doesn't know how to use a crosswalk!" The old man flipped Wade the bird and continued on.

"How ya feeling, Wade?" JJ asked Wade as he slowly started to walk to the restaurant. "Maybe we should have gotten it delivered?"

Wade just stared at JJ. "Your mom says hi. Oh, she says to stop watching porn." He leaned on JJ as he walked. "Your mom's never gonna let me cross that bridge!"

"What do you want me to do about it Wade?" JJ had a difficult time holding Wade up.

Just as they approached the entrance to the Honolulu Café, Captain America stepped out. "Oh hey, Wade!"

"You wore your Captain America suit to lunch?" Wade started laughing.

"Super heroes eat free on Thursdays!" Captain America laughed, "but you're not a hero. Are you Wade?" He waved a cab down and jumped in.

"That guy burns my ass! Everywhere I go, he is always ahead of me!" Wade hung onto JJ as they entered the Chinese restaurant.

"I guess we could've just had it delivered?" JJ offered.

Wade just stared at JJ.
