everyone at the funeral was boring.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRGcGRPPH

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWiCNfEq5I

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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHoqXnzvGt

and not me?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB2cXf5qU8

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE9s3ZY7Im

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTptUKpo69E

she said no

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZMsUHIeCz

she needed to work

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4NSkfy8R6

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKm8ybmwpe

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ3hHfhoVO

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB7syjsuGA

i asked why

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDm5whq4Ur

and she said that’s where he was shot

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Aa0inXoDx

…

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUHsI6Yvie

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQihnxR8kM

“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jpp1ljw3d

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

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQJ9Ra8tz4

i was glad to know.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NVwZzBwaK

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1AmgWr2ds

but who would do that?

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WkHdvOIpG

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

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

901Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoADT7IwY34

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
