Chapter 3. "All Demons Roll Raw"

I'm in school when some man come in and bend to my ear and drop a bomb

"Your father was found in a car crash and he's in the hospital your grandma is awaiting for you"

Is he dead

I wanna jump for joy

But don't as I'm sent out and is standing next to my grandma.

"If he dies your gonna need all the tears you can collect"my grandma say as we enter the hospital

Wouldn't you love that? I wanted to ask but keep my mouth shut as she push me out the elevator and through daddy's room

he looks horrible

but alive.

yippi

Grandma roll her neck around and scowl at my father

"You look as if your gonna die- just unplug it'll be faster"she says as he breathe in

I just sit and stare.

"Seriously Elliott if you want I'll just unplug ya"

please do!

"You look pathetic just stop breathing already"

then it happened

he stopped. he completely stopped.

Grandma jaws never did close.

Daddy funeral was nothing but silence

I cried.

I'm completely parentless

why wouldn't I?

"You better cry more then you did at your mother funeral you little brat"was what my grandma told me at the hospital in the parking lot

so I am.

As the undertaker took his box under I let more tears flow

Aunt Marcy took my hand and we left without hesitation or second mind

just left.

I couldn't sleep that night, not that Aunt Marcy bed isn't soft and warm but because I couldn't stop crying

"He killed your mother then he died beneath both of us I don't know if your bad luck or just lucky, congratulations you pathetic excuse of a child"those were my grandma words the day of my daddy funeral.

I believe them.

like a heart attack.
