The voices in his head, which once told Floyd he was the Anti-Christ, are now telling him to find full time employment.

Man On Corner Slowly Going Sane
by Patrick Kirk Gillock

Chesterville, WA - Downtown resident Tom Henderson noticed today that Floyd, the homeless man outside his building, no longer seems to be "as crazy." Tom explained, "He actually said 'Nice suit' to me this morning. Granted he was fondling himself at the time. But for the past 3 years all you would hear were curse words and maybe something about Jesus. Whatever the reason, I support him on this new direction."

Another resident, Jane Murphy, commented on Floyd's unusual transformation to sanity, "Today he told me to support Proposition 43. Which I do support. But then he said something about being the Anti-Christ." She went on to say, "Before you could pass-off everything he said as being the words of a highly sick individual, but now I'm just confused …and scared."

When confronted about his sudden change in mental stability Floyd simply replied, "@#$% you!" And then mumbled, "True happiness is within yourself."
