gore

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhezREcFTxz

everyone at the funeral was boring.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSM5rmphCD

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrZoXal19e

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?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJeAf2xLgZ

and not me?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqF2HXb4D4

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nFYqZCuC8

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVk9rg2Hb9

she said no

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2LLXDRQaK

she needed to work

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxTAoKTk3Q

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUiZAkon2t

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p20jl6a2I

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyCwKqGfo2

i asked why

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1IQiuDk0f

and she said that’s where he was shot

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHYh83X08O

…

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MbJ2LJFKD

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIgfAqAnON

“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.”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6S8kxHDmI

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

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7S09aACyY

i was glad to know.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRorKEDsYY

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqHID2EyFu

but who would do that?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8qf32nncF

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

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRmFIXyQq

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
