everyone at the funeral was boring.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9psmJbkpm

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugzJG9FIzy

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOneCiAtIXC

and not me?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxXJnq9oWt

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzKPwaaf4Y

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONZljxAnWT

she said no

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRM3fJcMIi

she needed to work

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mMLJpP4Tu

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihFHL3pi6n

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11RXTF2n8h

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Kd4GvHFR

i asked why

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo05Ea0Tq1h

and she said that’s where he was shot

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeSsP72c6X

…

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CmeqwTtGv

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJmGis09td

“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnjfuTpQr8

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

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxJZ1FxGQU

i was glad to know.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuimKgLbuS2

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenGSjGjZwO

but who would do that?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ECb1Z7aL

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

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjfxsJWmpf

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
