How Long Is Forever

He was destined to live in this castle for all of eternity with all the cobwebs and ghosts and things of ambiguous energy Although death did not become him the contract did stipulate that unless another individual died in one of these old cavernous rooms, he was to remain between the walls of Charleville castle forever and a day... Jordan madly typed away at his typewriter it was to be a letter of suicide left behind he wanted to go home he wasn't a fighter if he had to live one more day he'd go blind Then the doorbell rang and he opened it, ensconced in hope she shot a furtive glance towards the room then queried, "how many rooms does this castle own ?" "a thousand " he replied with a croak in his voice unleashing centuries of forever in one single bound; He invited her into the castle then gave her a nebulous drink "how would you like to live forever?" he asked through drug induced eyes replied, "well, how long is forever?"
