When you’re reading about Jadeveon Clowney, the potential No. 1 pick in tomorrow’s NFL draft, and you see the word defensive, you should, like all good things, come to an end. Clowney, you see, is a defensive end, which is the name of a football position. A defensive end is a lineman who rushes the quarterback and contains outside runs.
This article, however, was like an old man’s rambling story: It had no end.
The omission put Clowney in an awkward position, so I sprang to the defensive end’s defense and immediately began to search for the missing word. I had to find it. I looked … and looked … and looked. It wasn’t easy continuing in a world without end. I ignored the damn pain, the frustration. Just as I was about to abandon hope, my, ahem, odyssey brought me to a jaundiced man wearing a sandwich board. In between bell tolls, he asked if I had any ring-shaped pastries. I told him I did not. He replied, “Do’h! Nuts!” I diminished his spirits, but he unwittingly buoyed mine.
The overweight, balding man was right; it was near. End was in front of my face the entire time. Sitting at my computer, sensing defeat during my fruitless search, I bowed my head and rubbed the back of my neck. It was then that I noticed it, smack-dab between ‘delete’ and ‘page down.’ I knew. Somehow, I always knew. End was key.
At that moment, end was keyed. I pressed e, n and d. What did I reach?
The end.
