the grave that tells all
Im walking home like any other day i decided to stop by and see my mothers grave, no one ever found her body when she went missing but she was presumed dead. Its fall so of course its foggy and so hard to even see two feet in front of you almost as if you were in a cave i hate it. crap the gates locked i look at my phone and realize its eleven o'clock at night i didnt think a cemetary would close didnt know you had a mourning time.
i can just climb the fence its not that high kinda felt like a squirrel climbing up a tree...huh never thought id compare myself to a squirrel in a cemetry. i walk past all these flowerly decorated stones not remebering the last time my father did that for my mother. i see her sad and empty stone all by itself three rows away from me counting every step i go trying to prolounge dealing with the fact my mother is gone its something i tend to think about everytime. i sit in front of her grave and just put my hand on the ground as if she can reach out and do it back.
i began to sob and just dont know what to do without her,out of the blurrs of my tears seeing as if i was looking out of glasses that ive never worn. i see a shadow of a something sit to the stone next to me i look up and nothing is there. hmm must be my mind playing tricks on me. i begin to talk to my mother about my life and how her husband is doing and thats when it happened again another shadow this time in front of me i see the flat shoes in front of my face. i start closing my eyes hoping its just my eyes again i breathe in and say its not real it cant be.
i open my eyes to see my mothers figure sitting in front of me telling me to leave.
i beg her to let me stay or be with her because it is just to hard doing this on my own without her around. she tells me no and to go home before its to late, thats when i see it. its running full sprint at me i stand up and run as fast as i can hiding in one of the family tombs. I cover my mouth than i saw him... with a knife.
he was waiting for me as if it was meant for me. i could not see his face nor hear any voice just the sound of him running around looking for me i try to escape and hide behind a tree. i seem miles away from the exit to scared to move but i have to.
i jump the fence and he turns into the moonlight, its my father staring at me, crying.
"dad?"
