The Death of a Friend
Strange dreams. It started out with Spoon and I making out in the den at Pas. Somehow, everyone walked in and was mad and I was pissed at them because they were being ridiculous. As we're all standing there, fighting, Mrs. Rosabelle starts beating frantically on the glass door. No one wanted to let her in, but she was visibly upset. We saw cop cars outside and realized something had happened. Apparently, an old man...a friend of Pa's, had passed away. The dream switched over to that Pa had found him, dead on his couch....having passed while taking a nap. Mom, Amb, and I decided to go in and look at the body. Cops and EMS people were all over the place. Mom and Amb walked out saying something about the body being all disgusting. He'd been dead for weeks, obviously. Maybe only days, but his skin was mottled, and dark. I only glanced at the body, though I'd really wanted to see it, and walked to the back of the small apartment (which appeared to be in a tree like a treehouse) and Pa was sitting back there with Johnnie and Dad and I think Uncle Keith.....maybe a few others. He was leaned back in a chair and singing some blues song about his trouble, making light of the situation, though you could tell he was terribly upset. I saw on the floor and smiled through tears. He was sad his friend was dead, he was shook up at finding him that way, and it had caused him, mainly, to fear his own mortality, for he realized he was no spring chicken. He was so sad. I loved him so much in that instant as he joked with that sad look in his eyes.
I don't remember what happened after that, though I remember being furious with Mom and Amb throughout this entire dream. They were being their silly selves and I just couldn't abide by it.
