Death is a strange companion. We know it's there, always, waiting, waiting, and one day it's so much more closer. And for some reason, I can't treat it now as I did once. I sometimes scare myself, my insensibility and ability to tone it out are just amazing. Like killing a dog at the vet with a terminal disease. Just don't think of it. Try not to think of why exactly the animal has gone limp; just carry it to the freezer like it's a sack of potatoes. Symptons.
But now it's different. It's the full realization that I should have listened to my mother when she said, 'go see her, be nicer to her'. It's not going to be a sudden something that I can ignore, standing in the middle of people filled with grief and pretending I don't know why they're crying so hard.
I never liked the smell of hopsitals.
The worst thing is my inability to cry. Now, it's just that little whispering monster tat the back of my head. My father's pasiveness.
