My Obituary
Stop. Look out your window. Can you see? No. Too foggy? Yes. Then keep driving. Watch the pot hole. Pull over. Here? Yes. How about now, can you see? No. Harrumph. Then get out. Don’t slam the door like that. Sorry. Of course. Walk down a bit. Here? No, to the stairs. How’s it look now? Still to foggy. But can you hear them? Of course. Do they sound big? Yes, they’re crashing fast, hard, angry. Then go out there. No, it’s cold. Cold? That’s just in your head, it’s not cold. No, you’re in my head. No, its you. Oh shut up! Then go down there. Do I have to? Of course. The sand’s cold! Stop complaining. That was a statement, not a complaint. Just keep walking. It’s hard, my legs are too heavy. Now you’re whining. Am not. Can you see yet? No, but they’re getting louder. Of course they are. Walk closer. Good, stop here. Can you see? A bit. They’re blurry. Take off your sandals. Your hoodie too. My jeans? No. Leave the rest on. They’ll get wet. Of course. Step in. It’s so cold! Don’t stop. I can’t feel my feet. Can you feel the rest of your body? Actually… no. Of course not. Can you see? Yes. They’re big. Very big. Turn around. Can you see? No…. the car’s gone, the houses too. Everything’s disappeared. Of course. Walk backwards. No, I want to see. Fine. Turn around. Go faster. That’s it. Pick up your feet. My legs are too heavy. Then swim. It’s cold. Of course. Just dive in. Now, start swimming. It’s so cold. So cold! You said that already. Yes I know. Swim. Remember to breath. Dive in again. Here comes another. They’re strong. Of course. They’re fast. Of course. They’re… Angry. Yes. Dive! Catch your breath. Hurry now, another. Dive! Stop shaking. I can’t. It’s so cold. Of course. You have to dive now. Breath. Keep swimming. I can’t… I can’t feel… Dive! Ok, now breathe. Keep swimming. My arms are too heavy. Dive! Then stand up. It’s too deep. Dive! Come on, breathe. You have to breathe. Of course…. But my lungs are too heavy. Dive! They’re so angry. So big. Of course. Dive! It’s so cold. Of course. Dive. Dive! Dive!!! You didn’t dive. I’m sorry. Can you breathe? No. You must. Of course. The waters too heavy. Please breath. I’m sorry. The air’s too heavy. No, just try. Will you try? Of course. Oh, don’t go. Please? I think I have to. No. I can’t see. Of course not. I need you. No, you need to breathe. Of course. I’ll miss you. Yes... Of course…
