Contents of a Character's Wallet by Aaron

June 3rd, 2006 4:10 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: In Jack Finney's short story, "Contents of a Dead Man's Pocket", the character - clinging to the side of a building - imagines what the world will think of him if they only have the contents of his pockets to consider.

Empty your pockets, your wallet, your purse out onto a table- tally the contents and tell us what the world would think of you, if they had only those effects to consider. Then, decide upon one thing to add to the contents of your pockets, your wallet, or your purse, which will better enunciate the truth of your person to the world.

People might think that I'm a traveling, point-obsessed, coffee drinking, IT guy. I haven't travelled much at all in the last year and I rarely drink coffee. I noticed that I do not have any photos in my wallet. It would be most curious if I did, I think.

Not in the photos are the two other things usually in my pockets:

Danger Hiptop and 7 Keys: Car, 4 House and 2 Work. The house and work keys look standard enough for a random person to not be able to know what they are for although one would assume at least one is a house key.

Not much more fits in my wallet. The additional truth of me will reside in the changing contents of the wallet. What more about me could you know? The wallet sufficiently provides a vague overview but if you wanted to dig in, you could pick up my hiptop and sift through my email and text messages... my bookmarks and phone book... my calendar and notes... Scary.

Concerning my changing items in my wallet, I've recently taken out the following: Post-It note containing a password to a co-worker's computer, business cards for Nicholas Kosevich, Tod Foley, Mike Obermueller and Brian Forrest. I'll soon be adding 4 tickets to "A Prairie Home Companion" showing at the Lagoon Theater on Thursday that are currently sitting on my desk. I will also possibly add a hotel points card for a hotel I'm staying at in Rochester, MN this upcoming weekend.
