everyone at the funeral was boring.

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gGKUzzSpN

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq371u94LH4

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?

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid5YGgEv9R

and not me?

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOLfOtm4er

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACvBw5iDFc

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz1vlCtj3J

she said no

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgCcbtO7AK

she needed to work

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjMx99FbJQ

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUZMmf0VYm

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeidcpDZHM

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHqYAl5Nzr

i asked why

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ge1y16DwA

and she said that’s where he was shot

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLCwLyR6qH

…

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdomcLqpM8i

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa0SfoZkWh

“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.”

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcUors2U8V

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

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP8XIPsjz3

i was glad to know.

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5qWMGMozX

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWifi2JjxQ7

but who would do that?

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZCBbj5PIt

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

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

900Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXhjhyxD7n

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
