Ritual quiet solemnity  Sssh.

he had only thought it

could she hear him think  Sssh. Please.


it was uncomfortablejust attending a wake is uncomfortable one would prefer doing something elseanything else

 

a closed coffin

he didnt get having a wake if the coffin was going to be closed

had he known he would only have attended the funereal

mourning
           ceremonial grief

isnt it enough that someone you loved or knew well has died griefs grief why ritualise it why show death off poorly   a closed coffin 

he never heard of a wake or funereal crasher 
                                                    hed heard of thieves reading obituaries to know when it might be best to break into the deceaseds house  opportunity doesnt always knock  it can break in too

 

A freakin closed cof . . 
. . Sssh. Please.  I asked you earlier, please.

he clear his throat 
                    Ya kiddin me

she tried to set him quiet with her eyes 

No no  Youll have to speak to me I cant read your thoughtsyour mind  Im unlike you

Please, keep your voice down.

This is the first Ive spoke I dont take kindly to being ssshed  who does

Could you show some respect?

Show me a body and Ill respect it all to hellwha the hell is this he died in his sleep he kept himself in shape a freakin nasty genetic disorder kills him anfor that we cant see himcant say goodbye to his face Wha rap it out in Morse Code on the lid

I can’t believe you’re carrying on like this. Keep your voice down.

It is down

Softer.

BECAUSE ILL WAKE THE DEAD Sssh  HE AINT ASLEEP AINT WAKING

My God, you’re embarrassing.

My buddy died I drove sixteen hours have a motel room for three days got Dressedup an I cant see his face one last time

You saw his face one last time when you last saw him alive.

Thats crap

Oh.  My.  God. 
                  she shook her head hopelessly which is different than one shaking their head with hope

Really OhmyGawd  You a Valley Girl

 

she walked away

she lived in town

she was a longtime friend of theirs

they stayed in townwhere they grew up

somebody would have had to shoot him in the head to keep him there

but hed be damn sure his coffin was open 
                                             AND PEOPLE COULD TALK anmebbe  raise the dead
