What do you remember about that day?
You mean the day I died?
But you're not dead.
Not technically.
But his eyes were cold, like death had already crept in.
Do you remember it?
It's the only thing I can't forget. I know every surface and every conversation, every smell and every footfall. I remember the last thing I ever ate. The last thing I ever saw.
But you're eating now.
Am I?
He looked down like he had only just discovered having a plate in front of him.
What happened to you?
You mean on the day I died?
No. I mean on the day I did...
He looked up and straight through to the outside, shuttering all emotion and biting his tongue.
"Can I get you something else, sugar?"
"Just a check."
And he walked out.
Alone.
Just like he'd been since we both died.
