everyone at the funeral was boring.

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UuJlIFLYj

gail tried to comfort me

but i didn’t like gail.

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIdqM0Rlgh

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?

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgrFJx78Ir

and not me?

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxPYLZuVw8

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HRRzEAQST

i asked mum if she could extend her stay

to spend some time with me

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9yYdJwVme

she said no

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYpfMycltV

she needed to work

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmoY96pEhm

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zLN7ARNZb

i asked mum if we were allowed to see him

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW938Zl2TM

she said that wouldn’t be possible

she said his face was barely recognisable

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcjuHEar2O

i asked why

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg2cDzmSDt

and she said that’s where he was shot

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIzNo5eLAw

…

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRfWTrBBa5

“i thought it was diabetes that killed him!”

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyBYi4hE6M

“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.”

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlvNhd2yNa

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

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfGZpfRhlN

i was glad to know.

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu8dRjlCpA

looking at the coffin i tried not to imagine.

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30y0ZLIutz

but who would do that?

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQfPh4G2wX

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

“who shot him and carved out his heart?”

902Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcJ9pIjURn

she said “shhh!”

and that was that

conversation.

end.
