The suivant 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? toi almost gave mommy a cœur, coeur attack” Zoey a dit and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia a dit breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the télévision and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four an old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey a dit trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia a dit 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 toi two made,
Amends.

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

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

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

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