CoffinThis is the Bartelby-esk story of a grown man who lived in a wooden box for a time in the late 1990s. My good friend from highschool, Carolyn, tells the story of how her uncle went from living in a boat, to a trailer, and finally a coffin shaped box.

This is the first episode of Storylife, so please let me know what you think!

All music is by me and Garageband.

    I loved this story! To my dismay, MY crazy uncle John is chain smoking and muttering to himself somewhere on the streets of downtown Portland right now! He one time tried to cut off his hand because it “went bad” on him. That was before his attempt to run down my friend and I after school with a station wagon. But apparently he’s cosmically significant. I’m glad he gave away responsibility for that magic penny. He could have used it to destroy the world! At least he can still bend time. Until such point as he’s unable to walk backwards in circles around a wooden chair.
