She had a girlfriend at work she confided in one time about her husband - about his being on the sofa all the time.  For some reason, her friend didn't seem to think it was anything very strange, which both surprised and depressed Sandy.  Her friend told her about her uncle in Tennessee - when her uncle turned forty, he got into his bed and wouldn't get up anymore.  And he cried a lot - he cried at least once every day.  She told Sandy she guessed her uncle was afraid of getting old.  ...But the man was sixty-three now and still breathing, she said.  ...She didn't say any more about it to her friend, whose uncle had gotten into bed twenty-three years ago and was still there, as far as Sandy knew.

- from the short story "Preservation"
by Raymond Carver
