everyone at the funeral was boring.

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySBzICxz3f

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeELkPkLwMI

why couldn’t it have been gail?

gail was unhealthier than pops.

she was addicted to nicotine and didn’t take good care of her teeth.

pops always tried his best

with everything

so why was he dead

and not her?

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcJaYGtpk4

and not me?

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXh8tFZmak

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KrMyYOHLR

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVaSo5Q3nT

she said no

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8Ivf7vQYV

she needed to work

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoiCZEToSg

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxRPmdMplD

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKbtu8nwQC

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqbl3I92NM

i asked why

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzwGnLBc1U

and she said that’s where he was shot

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LTfdtrgEV

…

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YJWnsOMbP

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgrHTVRcAz

“no,” she said, “it was a person.

“he never came home from his shoemaking class

“and someone found him in the gutter

“shot in the head with his heart carved out.”

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkhql8n5y

someone behind us gasped and told mum off for telling me.

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMoPaZO3GX

i was glad to know.

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfmkHFxhhZ

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSIIv8YUQY

but who would do that?

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ8Gr0G76i

i asked mum “do you think it was the same person?

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

865Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYylPmiEMN

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
