When You’re Alone…

L L Emerson

There wasn't much left of the little town Milpitas. And at this point, the remains here are probably the small crawl space my parents used to store wine and whiskey. Actually, Scotch, my dad would have my neck if I said it was Whiskey. All that could be left over was what was underneath the surface. The rest... was just nothing. It was a barren wasteland.

As if nails scratched on a chalkboard, their vocal cords were being torn to shreds. The shrill and volume of this laugh came out of nowhere. It made rooms quiet, people stare and gasp by the sharp cackle that would emanate through the confined space. They would release the laugh, then gasp for air over and over against.

happy birthday dad,

who’s laughter made us glad,

that while the world would crumble,

but how to love and appreciate life,

since the world we are in reeks of spite,

happy birthday dad,

you never taught me how to be mad,
