Death: Thought No. Four

by Doug Paul Case

Sometimes I like to think about what he’d do if I killed myself. I picture him lying naked on his bedroom floor, clutching the Polaroid he took of me in Miami. It was hot the night he took it. I never imagine him crying. He’d move on, but he’d never find what we had. We were a one-shot deal.

6S

Doug Paul Case studies writing, literature, and publishing at Emerson College. Sometimes he remembers to blog here.

reminds us what we want, and perhaps, one time had.

What a perfect "I'll show him!" fantasy scenario this is! Very satisfying.

His loss, your gain, Doug.
