Alternate lives

Two people: one is forty-one years old, living with his mother, with no job or credentials. He had a girlfriend when he was twenty-two, but they split when she decided to work overseas. He hasn't had a relationship since then.When people from a TV show went to to talk to his mother, he joined in and he was obviously drunk. The TV people made fun of him; he couldn't say or do anything but grin a toothless grin.

One was fingered as a robber; he was alleged to have held up a taxi. Except he manages a privately-owned convenience store; he doesn't associate much with others. And he graduated with the highest honors during elementary school and high school. He finished college, majoring in interior design.

I feel like there, but for the Grace of God, go I.
