gore

everyone at the funeral was boring.

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vuic3xKVP

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkemYDhVfY

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?

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlOb2IrrOo

and not me?

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2CRgicOk3

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q5fgsaqx1

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8IcwtPiHr

she said no

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUrWLO3MaC

she needed to work

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn33hg2Rn9

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqftx3K6F8

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5klGawZGeT

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NnfwYaZfb

i asked why

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXONJy0qB1T

and she said that’s where he was shot

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVSfXYV3M2

…

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LuWC41hlK

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAOn9NEfcu

“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.”

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG9F9gFHm4

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

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv76w3HD9d

i was glad to know.

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKdO2gNq5q

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl4c44rkL9

but who would do that?

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VhKkEToga

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

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

864Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bkWl66ETt

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
