“I’m try’na make sense of what little remains”
- The Script
“Life is worth living, he always used to say, but it isn’t much for me. I could have pulled the trigger, or hit him with a gun but I didn’t, I did something worse. I watched him suffer and did nothing.
Marie and I were soul mates when we were teenagers. We always spent the day together. We didn’t care about school. We cared about ourselves. Even our father’s couldn’t stop us lovebirds from being together. One night, that all came to a halt. I don’t know what happened. I just remember Marie’s dad, Gerry, making fun of my mum and I looked at the cooker…
When I opened my eyes, Gerry was ashes. Black, charcoal ash. Marie was crying a river for days and still has never forgiven me. She said I killed him, but I don’t know how.
“I guess I can’t help myself. I’m dangerous.”

Ohhh…did he black out? Interesting. Good start!

I’d say he blacked out… but maybe he didn’t. Maybe an alien transformation happened or the world ended then restarted or he crossed the Bermuda line or whatever it’s called. It’s a mystery.
Thank you for reading
