He's kicking in his casket. I can feel it. That chill you get down your arms and legs when you get uncontrollably angry, I felt it. I heard him screaming at the top of his lungs in frustration.

Why are you sad big brother ?
Mommy tells me you're happy. She tells me you're in a better place . But are you ?

I, I am my brother's keeper.
There's days I sit at my desk staring out my window and I get a sudden rush of sadness, I look over to see my brother's beautiful smile. His dark brown eyes, the way he used to squint his eyes when he smiled hard enough. Memories from our childhood fill in my head and can't help but wish he was here.
But in a way he is because after all the happy thoughts I feel him bring me to the night it all ended.
