klancy pasta presents she sold happiness in glass jars written by floored and narrated by Clancy the poster read happiness sold in glass jars call today and underneath the text was a phone number I was walking home from a long exhausting day of work but I caught a glimpse of the paper stapled on an old telephone pole I took a picture of it thinking it was amusing I was going to show my wife once I got to our apartment but I was caught up with chores and forgot about it dinner dishes laundry pack me a snack for our daughter putting her to bed and putting her toys away that she left out in the living room every night it was the exact same routine the next day I awoke sleeping back to back with my wife I always had to get up earlier than she did for my job so I quietly got ready for the day and headed out the door at work I was updating the company's latest expense report most days were similar to this one they were basically paying me to stare at a computer for nine hours a day and input a couple numbers into a spreadsheet I finished my work very quickly so I decided to head out of the office early it also helped that it was a Friday and a lot of people leave early at the end of the week on my walk back I was thinking of what my life had become I did this often I always dreamed of traveling when I was younger I wanted to drive across the country or solo backpack across Europe then I met Kelsey don't get me wrong I loved Kelsey I mean I still do we just don't have that spark anymore when you meet someone and get in a relationship whether it's meant to be or not some of your personal life plans have to be put on hold and then that relationship turns to marriage and then you have a baby then you have to enroll your daughter in a preschool and you have to get a better paying job and work more hours and blah blah blah I'm not trying to throw a pity party for myself I'm just saying I wasn't exactly content with where I was in my life I wouldn't have referred to myself as a happy person as I took the same route home that I did every day to working back I walked by the same poster I had passed the day before I don't know why I really don't but I decided to call the number I figured it would be some joke maybe someone just picks up and says I love you on the other end it hangs up or maybe it's a line to a sex worker I had no idea what to expect I called it only rang once before someone picked up hello a woman said uh hi I'm calling about your poster your ad Oh awesome she said calmly when do you want to pick it up pick what up the jar she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world oh of course um I realized then that I had left work early without telling Kelsey so I could just go pick it up now and she'd be none the wiser what exactly is it that you're selling I just told you it's happiness in a glass jar like the poster said happiness keeps best in glass jars they're more durable than say a plastic bag um okay should we mean somewhere for sure I don't want you to end up being a creep or something so let's go to a public place the public place we decided on was a Starbucks parking lot a little over a mile from me now I didn't think I was really going to be buying a jar of happiness I was 99% sure she was going to sell me drugs maybe heroin would be in the jar I remember thinking oh no happiness is probably a nickname for some street drug and I'm going to a drug deal what if she's a cop am I going to be arrested but something inside me told me to keep walking and so I did I stood outside and texted her me I'm here her cool be there in a sec me what are you driving a silver Camry and as her final text came through I saw her carpooling she took a spot not too far from where I stood I could see there was no one else in the car which but my kidnapping fear to rest she opened the door and stood on the pavement looking around till her eyes met mine I gave her a little nod of acknowledgement she simply responded by waving her hand gesturing for me to come over to her car so I did she was young maybe mid-20s with curly golden hair her skin was pale and contrasted with the all-black outfit she was wearing I thought she looked like Glinda the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz had put on the wicked witch's clothes and I stay out she said as a greeting oh yeah it is and really paid attention to it you were the one who called about the jar right yeah that was me cool well here you go she handed me a very small glass mason jar it couldn't have been more than two inches tall inside of it was a light not a light bulb just light it was like someone bottled up sunshine it glowed even in the mid afternoon daylight it looked like a tiny Sun or a tiny universe existing in this little crystal walled home I was admiring it with no attempt to hide the awe on my face pretty rat isn't it what what is it you've asked that like three different times I think my answer is still the same it is happiness happiness and a glass jar what do I do with it keep it she said simply if you have any problems shoot me a text she started to get into her car wait I said I thought you were selling this how much is it don't worry man she said with a smile you'll pay she closed her door and I stepped out of her way as she backed up then drove off what the hell had just happened what was i holding I looked down at the jar again its radiance who is simply mesmerizing I put it in my pocket you could see its glow slightly through my pants I began to walk home what was just a nice sunny day quickly changed into a rainy one with clouds wrapping the sky it was not forecasted that it would rain or else I would have ridden the bus her subway to work that day a jogged home trying not to get too drenched I finally found shelter once I made it to my apartment building I walked up to my door and found that my key wasn't on my key ring anymore I can't believe I lost it again I thought and knocked on the door and said in a somewhat loud voice hey babe it's me I don't know what happened to Mikey I heard the door being unlocked from the other side when the door opened I was greeted by a large heavyset man with greasy hair and unkept goatee he said I think you got the wrong door but oh I said disoriented my bad sorry I have a good one he let out a chuckle as he closed the door apartment number 33 I know that was my apartment I know it was I'd been an apartment 33 for five years now but that was not my apartment from what I could see inside all the furniture was different it was painted a different color it was all wrong I felt like I'd hit my head and was drugged in that moment nothing made sense I pulled out my phone to call Kelsey so she could call me down and tell me I just got confused for a second but her contact wasn't in my phone in fact nothing was in my phone I had no messages with her no previous calls no pictures it was like my phone reset to its factory settings did that girl somehow switch my phone out when I wasn't looking I would have just dialed Kelsey's number manually but I couldn't quite remember it I had known him by hard before but not anymore I needed to get back to the office I had all my contacts backed up on my work computer since it was still raining I hopped on the bus which had a stop right in front of the apartment complex I rode downtown toward my office the whole time staring at my wet shoes wondering what the hell was going on we have a keycard access to our building so only authorized personnel can get inside I always kept my access card in my wallet always but surprise surprise it wasn't there I buzzed into the speaker we had four guests with appointments er employees as a backup in case anyone lost or forgot their card hey this is Tim I must have lost my card my employee number is I stopped as I drew a blank a voice came through the speaker Tim you got cut out what's your employee number um I can't remember I that's fine I just tell me your full name and department finance I'm in finance my full name is tim brooks one sec about 30 seconds later the man spoke to me again we don't have a tim brooks working in this building did you have an appointment with someone I backed up in surprise almost tripping on my own feet I just been in that office an hour or two ago what was happening to me if elegan was getting Alzheimer's but going through every stage in one day I stared at my hands unsure if I was in the right body I felt like the world around me was disintegrating I wasn't in control I was merely sitting inside somebody else's head watching the world through their eyes just then I got a text I recognized the number immediately it was that girl the one who gave me the jar I had forgotten all about it until I saw her text hey how's it going I looked at my phone dumbfounded it made me angry she was so nonchalant about this she knew what was going on she had done this somehow what the hell did you do to me the worst is yet to come I was astronomically close to just chucking my phone as far as I could in frustration I took the jar out of my pocket it looked unchanged still glowing just as bright what the did you do I yelled at the jar realizing I probably looked like a lunatic as I stared at its glistening glass I realized something I didn't know what my wife's face looked like anymore I knew her name well I know it started with a K or maybe a C they couldn't picture her in my mind I knew I had a wife I knew I did yes because I had a daughter I had a wife and a daughter I just couldn't remember their faces then or their names or their birthdays or any memories I had with them I know they existed they did exist I had just seen them that morning right I couldn't remember how she looked or what she smelled like what was our first date we had a wedding right what about our first kiss or my daughter or wasn't my son maybe I didn't even have a kid but my wife or girlfriend she was real I knew she was the thought was tearing me apart I couldn't see her in my head I couldn't recall a single fact about her I was standing outside of the same building but I was unsure why I was did I work there I must have worked somewhere the rain was accompanied by a chilly wind now it was whipping at my face making my nose and cheeks stink I wanted to go home I wanted to be with her I wanted to be warm I wanted to go into a shitty office job that kept a roof over my head I wanted it all I was soaking what I was miserable I couldn't remember my parents or my childhood did I even have any friends why was I in the rain I looked down at my hand I was still clutching the jar the only memory of my entire life I could concurrently remember was that girl giving it to me telling me it was happiness it did not bring happiness it brought pain it brought suffering I was more miserable in that moment than I had ever been my phone bust break the jar Tim I looked in my other hand with the Setting Sun and the rainy sky I swear the jar glowed brighter than any streetlight near me I didn't break it because I was following her instruction I broke it because I was angry I broken because I was upset I needed a release I raised my arm above my head and brought it down with one swift motion shattering the jar on the concrete beneath my feet that dark chilly air accompanying the rain spread away like it was the shock wave of a bomb going off and I was at the epicentre I saw the warm yellow light from inside the jar spread rapidly across the ground and ascend into the sky It was as if I was watching the beginnings of the universe being created like God had just snapped his fingers and said let there be light I was engulfed in it I could no longer see Street or rain or anything dark I felt like I was plummeting into a star going faster than the speed of light it felt like sitting in front of a fire on a cold winter's night but that warmth was covering every inch of my body and that I blinked immediately I could feel the sheets beneath me and my back barely touching my wife's I was staring out the window the morning light drenched through the glass and gleamed on my face I stood from bed and grabbed my phone it was Friday morning I had one text letting me know if he ever need another jar smiley face I called in sick to work I snuck into my daughter's room and greeted her with a kiss and told her she didn't have to go to preschool today we were going to have a family day she smiled and stretched out her arms with a yawn before curling up and falling back asleep I got back in bed and squeezed my wife tightly I didn't let go brower's our daughter came into our room and woke us up eventually she jumped on the bed and shouted for us to wake up yesterday I may have found that annoying yesterday I may have found a lot of things knowing or monotonous or dull but not today today I pulled her under the covers in between me and
