They all came

To see me.


Mom.


Momma.


Talla.


Troy.


Jack.


Winter.


Sam.


Alex.


They all came.

Not happy for some. . .


And I could actually

Hear their voices.


Stern but breaking.

Soft and cracking.

Once happy.

Once confident.

Once alive.

Once alive.

Once alive.

Once alive.


I can't remember

The last time I called

My parents

Mom

And Momma

To their faces.


They looked sad,

Why?

They were crying,

Why?

They were stuttering,

Why?


Talla did it!

She's an actor!

She said she landed her

First job just this week!

Congratulations!


Troy's becoming a

Professional basketball player now,

He's playing for his college team.

It makes me happy

Knowing my friends are

Becoming successful,

Making names for themselves.


But they're sad,

That doesn't make me happy.


Been a while since

I've heard Jack's voice,

It's raspy now,

Strained,

As if something was

Blocking his airways.


To whichever cop that ends up

Finding this,

The dude's name is

Stacy Kheller.

Jack's killer.

Which is actually a chick

I'm not lying,

Listen to me for once,

Stacy Kheller.

Get to it before She

Leaves the country.


Momma brought me

A picture.

It was a drawing.

A sketch,

Signed

Winter Chernive at

The bottom of the page.


It was a drawing

Of me.

Despite not seeing me

For a while,

It was pretty accurate.


I'm glad you've been

Thinking about me, Winter.

I've been thinking

About you too.


I'll be seeing

Sam soon!

That's a plus.

I'll make sure to take

Alex Hail along

With me.


I don't want to

Talk about that man.

Haven't I already

Done that enough?


Thank you for the pictures.

I appreciate it.


It feels nice knowing I can hold a memory forever and never lose it.
