Orange. Content Warning.
Make sure you read this first. *** One week after the funeral It has never ceased to amaze me how people can pack up years of their lives into cardboard boxes. Today, the amazement twists into an excruciating agony, increasing with every piece of clothing and property placed into the cartons. Andrea was alive for 18 years; how are we supposed to pack 18 years into a couple boxes? But I pack in silence, not wanting to burden Mom with my pain.

#100 Things in 20 Minutes
Inspired by Judey Kalchik (her story is linked below). Thank you for the inspiration. Before we get started... After I read Judey's piece, the first thing I thought of was an exercise one of my high school English teaches had us do before completing a writing assignment. He would have us write down any and everything that was on our minds, no matter how out there it was. The purpose? I am not entirely certain, but I think it was either to empty our minds of distractions or to give us ideas if we were feeling stuck.

Red. Content Warning.
Gabriel stares at the roses sitting on top of his sister's gravestone. With a blank look, he picks them up and plays with the white ribbon keeping the bundle together. Andrea would have loved these flowers; they came from her treasured rosebush. A lump develops in Gabriel's throat, making it hard for him to breathe and blurring his vision.

Saving Her From Afar
The woman on the floor clutches the red and white cooler closer to her chest. A gun points at her head with a steady finger on the trigger; the man holding the gun is numb to the woman's pleas. He has lived the life of a mercenary and thief too long to care.
