Like so many people, Thomas Delaney was concerned that no-one would remember him after he was gone.
Just another man, in just another office.
He needn’t have worried, for the very next day he was struck down by a frozen stuffed guinea pig, falling from an airplane’s hold at thirty-eight thousand feet.
People were talking about that for ages.
Unremarkable as his life – if not his death – may have been, Thomas did teach one very important lesson.
By someone, somewhere, you will be remembered.
So it’s not being forgotten that anyone should worry about. It’s what you’ll be remembered for.

This one came from the prompt ‘stuffed guinea pig’. Don’t think there was anywhere else I was ever going to go with it.
