Don't mind me, I'm here
"Man this sucks..." Tom complained to himself when he held the letter in his hand.
He already knew the contents of this letter, that it would inform him that his mother died. He wasn't
exactly saddened by this, but he was still upset nonetheless. He knew a few months in advance that this
would happen soon, as she had been extremely sick, and hadn't been getting better. Plus, he didn't
believe that his mom actually like him. But he didn't really care, at least now he wouldn't have to deal the
her bull shit. All that was left now was her funeral, once he made through that, he would be free from his
family's drama.
Tom's family was rich, they weren't like: "Oh wow! That's a really nice home." No, they were rich
rich. Like, his family owned 5 mansions and 6 summer homes. To make things worse, his family's wealth
didn't exactly give them a good reputation. As his family was the snobby kind, with no feelings for
people in poverty, or in any worse financial state that they weren't in. Tom knew he wasn't like his family
though, as his parents didn't give him the same kind of love that his siblings got. They treated him like
somebody on the street, begging for food. When he was younger he would just be happy that his
parents would show up to his birthday, which is kind of sad when he thinks about it now. But never mind
that all he had to do was suck it up for a few hours at her funeral.
Honestly, he hated the idea of being around his family, the people that hated him for so long.
Since he'd long since gave up the idea of patching things together, he wanted to come up with a excuse
not to attend. But going to the funeral would most likely be inevitable, so he devised a plan.
1: Go to the funeral. ( Try to act sad )
2: Say goodbye or whatever, maybe kick the coffin while I'm at it.
3: Say something good about her. ( That'll be the hardest part )
4: Leave
5: Come back around a week later for the will reading. ( She probably didn't leave anything for me
though )
Who knows what'll happen after? He realized that he was living this wealthy life, but it'll probably
all go down from here. The house was his mothers, and since she's dead, it'll probably go to one of his
siblings. It was practically guaranteed that he'd be kicked out, not even a second after his family knew
who'd the house would go to. There had to be a backup plan for his life, something that he could at least
survive off of. Maybe he should open up something like... a business? That would be fun, and how hard
could it be? He could open up a diner, maybe he'd call it 'Big Man Tom's Diner' or something like that.
"Yea!" He said to himself in confidence.
That's what he was going to do, he was going to open a diner. He would have the best
employees, and the best paying customers. Every other diner in town would go out of business!! He
laughed to himself, and with a swift opening of the door, he stepped outside to head to his car.
♦︎♦︎♦ He had set off for the funeral in his car, which was extremely old and could barely function. He
had to stop ever few minutes, since it felt like the car battery would explode. It took awhile for him to get
at the funeral, it wasn't exactly something he planned, but it still worked. He ended up being fashionably
late because of his car, but being fashionable is a good thing, right? He looked around, and conversed
with other people. After a few conversations, he was practically seething.
Almost everybody else had wanted to open a diner! How was this possible, there's so many
other buildings you could open! But of course, everybody else had to choose the diner, the one HE
chose first. He learned that apparently, 5 people, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a dead body all wanted to open a
diner as well. The names they thought were terrible to him, who would want to go to a place called
'Mediocre Feline Diner'. What kind of name even is that? He walked away from the crowd, and he stood
under a willow tree. Tom saw it was wilting, and felt a bit of remorse for the old tree. But he couldn't
exactly give the tree his attention right now, and chose to be blind to it. Pulling out his phone, he scrolled
through his contacts till he found the one he needed.
Why would he call somebody right now? Well, he came up with a plan. If apparently everybody
else was going to open a diner, he had to make sure they didn't live to see it. Like before, he chose to
quickly create a flawless plan:
1: Get a bomb. ( Surely will be easy )
2: Bomb this funeral.
3: Set a fire, to make sure nobody else survives.
4: Flee
5: Burn down every other diner in town.
6: Open a diner, without getting caught
"Flawless, as I expected!" Tom praised himself, he was already excited about his plan.
He landed on the contact he needed, and pressed the call button. He held the phone up to his ear,
listening the ringing till he would pick up.
-RING-
-RING-
-RING-
"Hello?" A person spoke from the other end.
"Hey Will, I'm going to need a favor from you." Tom said a bit sheepishly.
"..."
"I'm listening." Will finally responded.
"I need you to make me a bomb." Tom stated, slightly whispering, hoping that nobody else heard.
Nobody could've heard though, since he was around 50 feet away from the closest person.
"What for?" Will asked, skeptical and confused.
"Oh!! No reason!" He quickly said, realizing he could've screwed up already. He decided he should
probably tell the truth, maybe it wouldn't be so bad?
"Maybe to sort of to blow up a funeral..." Mumbled Tom, who tried to be quiet about it.
"Oh, I love to blow up funerals! Count me in!" His friend yelled, following with a howl of laughter. "Anyways, can you be here in negative five?" Tom asked, feeling a bit of doubt. What if he couldn't make
it before the funeral ended?
"I can be there before that." Responded Will, before he hanged up on Tom.
Tom put his hands to his sides in confidence, this would definitely be a moment to remember.
