Father died yesterday. Or perhaps, today; I am not quite sure. What I am quite sure of, is that I am currently locked in a house with his dead body. The sight is rather gruesome, blood is smeared over the bedsheets surrounding his corpse, and a disgusting stench emanating from the body. I am sat on a chair facing the bed, my eyes trained on my father's empty, glass-like ones. They used to be such a beautiful, deep sea green, but ever since the bullet passed through his brain they have become dull, and ugly. I frown, standing up from my seat, and make my way over to the carcass. I wrap it in the sheets it lay on, and drag it to the bathroom. I dump it in the bathtub, and leave the room, closing the door behind me. I move to the entrance hall,

    I received the call that my brother had overdosed when I was going to a haunted house with a couple of my friends. My mother had not known the severity and told me not to worry. Steven had overdosed in the past so I was not as concerned as I should have been. My friends and I kept on with our festivities and then they dropped me off at my house. There was no one home and I became distressed. When I called my mother she told me to just go to bed and that they would be home soon. I forced myself to sleep. I was in a daze when my mother and father came into my room to tell me that my brother was dead. I don’t know what happened in my brain, but I could not talk and I could not cry. I believe I brushed it off as an awful nightmare. My unconscious demeanor scared my parents so they kept sending people in my room trying to get through to me. I woke up to my best friend hugging me, not saying a word, and then she left. I woke up to my grandma holding my hand with tears flowing down her eyes, not saying a word, and then she left. I woke to my godmother speaking about grief and how I needed to believe that he was gone, and then she left. How was I supposed to believe that my brother was no longer on this earth? I sat there on my bed alone as the idea of my brother dying crept into my mind. My heart began to literally ache. I cried hysterically for hours on hours. It has been a year since he has passed and it doesn’t get any

    As I walked through the door of the funeral home, the floral arrangements blurred into a sea of vivid colors. Wiping away my tears, I headed over to the collage of photographs of my grandfather. His smile seemed to transcend the image on the pictures, and for a moment, I could almost hear his laughter and see his eyes dancing as they tended to do when he told one of his famous jokes. My eyes scanned the old photographs, searching for myself amidst the images. They came to rest on a photo of Grandpa holding me in his lap when I was probably no more than four years old. The flowers surrounding me once again blended into an array of hues as I let my mind wander……

    My mom, my sister, and I was the first to look at my father’s body, chills went down my spine for the first time, as I have never seen a dead person in my life before, maybe in a movie or two, but actually getting to touch a dead person or even interact with the deceased makes it the ultimate first time experience. My mom, my sister, and I hovered over the casket, my father looked a couple shades darker, his skin had a rough texture to it as I put my hand on my father’s hands that were nicely placed on top of one of another. He was nicely trimmed, his hair was trimmed, his eyes were closed, and he looked nice in his suit, my father just looked like he was peacefully sleeping in his bed, just minus the snoring part. I instantly became curious about the deceased, and the process of how they prepared the body for viewing and burial. I wanted to know so many things about this profession and the only way I could get these answers for my questions, it to go find the person who helped make my father look natural as if he was sleeping. As I was trying to find the person who was responsible for the outstanding work that was done, I spotted an older African American man who wore an all black suit standing around looking calm as ever with two other guys who were also wearing a black suit standing near

    I wearily drag myself away from the silken violet comforter and slump out into the living room. The green and red print of our family’s southwestern style couch streaks boldly against the deep blues of the opposing sitting chairs, calling me to it. Of course I oblige the billowy haven, roughly plopping down and curling into the cushions, ignoring the faint smell of smoke that clings to the fabric. My focus fades in and out for a while, allowing my mind to relax and unwind from any treacherous dreams of the pervious night, until I hear the telltale creak of door hinges. My eyes flutter lightly open to see my Father dressed in smart brown slacks and a deep earthy t-shirt, his graying hair and beard neatly comber into order. He places his appointment book and hair products in a bag near the door signaling the rapid approaching time of departure. Soon he is parading out the door with ever-fading whispers of ‘I love you kid,’ and ‘be good.’
