Drowned Drunk

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I have thought of sending this story for a while, but only now just got to it.

My grandfather's mother emigrated from Norway in the 1920's. While a child, she had to go out on the streets of a town in Norway to beg for money, which her father, Johan Johansen, then took to spend on booze. He was hardly an exemplary citizen

However, karma did come back to bite him. He was eventually arrested for being drunk and disorderly and put on a prison ship. Shortly thereafter, while still drunk he fell over the edge of the ship and drowned, receiving a long overdue punishment for the treatment of his daughter.

Well that's certainly one way to quit drinking. Thanks, Richard.

More of a classic morality tale than a true DA, but I found this an amusing enough Personal Account! Thanks, Richard!
