I Lost an old friend

Tim Fish here. Today around 10:00 a.m. an old friend, who brightened my life and brought light into the lives of others was forever lost. My Surefire flashlight fell 10 floors down an elevator shaft and will no longer shine the light of day into my otherwise dark world. I loved my flashlight and kept it by my side continually for approximately 3 years. It fit nicely into my front left pants pocket and never intruded into my personal life. It was always there when I needed it and always suprised others with its brightness and constant presence. I remember one time in particular when it was dark, and I pushed the black button at the end of it, and then it wasn't dark anymore. It quietly slipped into the abyss without any fanfare. I watched in horror as it tumbled over and over, falling as if in slow motion, the light getting further away and dimmer until its life was forever snuffed out. I mourned throughout the morning, then I went to Champion Firearms and bought another one:)
