The inayofuata morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? wewe almost gave mommy a moyo attack” Zoey alisema and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia alisema breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the televisheni and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four mwaka old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey alisema trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia alisema confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

I Remember…


I remember the day,
That he passed away,
Just like it was,
Yesterday.

I remember the night,
Full of delight,
When wewe two made,
Amends.

I remember that day,
When wewe went to play,
Zelda,
On my N64.

But I remember tomorrow,
The siku of sorrow,
When I found out what happened,
To him.

And I’ll never forget,
The siku wewe left,
This Earth to go play in the sky.

I remember the day,
That wewe passed away,
Just like it was,
Today.
