I sat in a front row pew staring at a coffin before me. I smiled, my old friend Dean had been laying inside the coffin. Although, Dean had always felt like more than a friend to me. I had known someday one of us would die, but I wasn't afraid. Dean used to always say 'god only takes a person when he believed they had lived life to the fullest'. I never believed in god, but Dean was always a believer. Yet today as I sit here thinking about it, I feel as though god waited a little longer than he had to. Almost as if he were extending our time together. If he was real that is. I still remember the day that I walked in on his lifeless body, just laying there in his bed. As I recall I climbed into the bed next to him and pretended he was just sleeping. I remember holding his cold hand up against my chest hoping for something. I don't know what fo but it didn't matter at the time. As it seemed he had died peacefully in his sleep, or at least that's how the detective put it. However, I knew that wasn't true. No one knew the truth but me. If I had said anything about it people were sure to think I was just a crazy old man. It was like everything had happened so long ago, but it was really very recent. Every time I think about Deans passing I wonder to myself, how did we end up here?
