Reel

They listened to the school children grill each other on what they would buy if they won the lottery; neither one of them knew what most of the “must haves” were. “What would YOU buy?” the one asked, swept away in the possibilities, but the other just shook their head. “If I could, I would buy time. I would live my highlight reel over again, from beginning to end, so that I could pay the proper kind of attention to it and forego some of the foolishness I created when I was bored. I would make you watch it and it would prove to you that I am one of the best loved imbeciles you know.” They held hands after that, because there was no proving needed (none at all).
