A Small Gathering
So this is my funeral; a dismal turnout after half a century
of life. My mother weeps, the others stand stony faced. Impassive.
Is this my fate? An eternity spent haunting the living. Unseen
and it would seem, unlamented.
There’s somebody yawning. Maybe I’ll pay him a little visit
later, see what harm I can do him.
My grave looks so deep, dark. I can’t even see the
bottom. I can hear voices coming from
it, beckoning. Demanding. Shapes rise to
the surface and pull me down.
Down, down, deep into the cold, dank earth.
Then I see Him.
