Feeling sorry for yard trash…. >You lean down, the maroon fluffy quickly jumps away. >You look at him, “Listen, your friend is dead. He will never wake up. There is nothing anyone can do for him.” >”See, it’s not breathing.” You say pointing to the dead fluffy. >You poke it, “It is cold and stiff.

Maybe give a pep talk. >”Listen, we all die. Your kind is kinda good at it to tell the truth.” It looks up with tears in its eyes. >”Look at it this way your friend isn’t suffering anymore. It is at peace.” >It looks like it wants to say something, “Listen kid, life suck. Life sucks hard.” >”But when it does suck, you have to dust yourself off and move on. Don’t let it keep you down.” >You smile and give a thumbs up, it doesn’t seem to work. >You never were good with death talks. >”Fwen… dead… nevah wakey…” it turns and walks away. >Damn, looks like the thing is sad. >You watch it walk away. >You hope that what you did was good. >Ah well, these things really don’t understand death so it should be alright. >”Dude!

Can you believe that?” >You look at your partner, “Yes…. Yes I can…. Let’s just go!” >You leave to finish your shift. >You can’t help but to wonder about that sad fluffy though.
