My name is Theodore Bennet, I am 116 years old but I haven't aged physically. I was born in the 1900s, around the time of the invention of the typewriter. My wife Dorothy died around 60 years ago when she was about 40 and I died a couple of years after her when I was about 43, I believe I died about 4-5 years after her. I thought I would join her in the afterlife but when I passed, I didn't pass on. It's quite lonely without my Dorothy. She was always my best friend. Being around her felt like being on a cloud, I had no worries when I was with her. She was my twin flame. I can't think of a time I haven't been missing her, solely because there isn't one. I miss her sandy blonde hair, and the way it always smelled of coconuts. I miss the way she used to dance around the kitchen. I miss the way she always used to randomly tell me the random stuff on her mind. The smell of her Lentheric Confetti Perfume still lingers every now and then.
Sometimes I wonder if she ever gets confused why I haven't joined her in heaven yet or if she even thinks about me. I wonder if she's begun to think I never loved her. I sincerely hope not.
Everything about her was just so perfect, every little thing, the dimples on her back just below her spine, how she always knew people and their emotions just by instinct, how she always hated the lines that formed by her eyes when she smiled, the caramel tint to her skin, the way she freckled in the summertime, all of it I loved her. She was like a movie that I never wanted to watch forever. Even her "flaws" were beautiful.
Kids keep entering my home and going through my belongings. However I can not stop them, although it may anger me when they are disrespectful, I believe it is not their fault, I was curious when I was young too, I used to go exploring with Dorothy, we've known eachother since we were young. I also like to think they find comfort here, in my house and in my possessions. They are always photographing my stuff which makes me happy that people are interested. It makes me feel like I have purpose.
Even though I have kids who occasionally visit me, I still feel alone. I know I'm alone, it is going to be like this forever and I'm just gonna have to live with it.
