Mr Reaper,
Mom woke up this morning crying as usual. But something was different. She looked at me and got angry. "Get out!" she said, "Get OUT!"
I said "But mom it's breakfast."
"Don't care for food or lousy medicine anymore. I want you to go, Winston. You're the reason why He keeps leaving!"
I started to cry, because I was confused and I asked why. She sighed heavily and told me:
"Of course you I met Death in my dream. This time I was sure he would take me, but I didn't want him to leave me again. I told him to stop weeping for me and take me away! But now I now why he weeps... You came up behind me, where I couldn't see you, but he saw it all"
"But Mamma I--" I tried to say, but she interjected
"No--don't lie to me Win, I know small children like you. He saw you and he wept and left weeping. That's why you cannot be here anymore. I want to go, but it seems Death is hating me for leaving you." Her voice went rasp and miserable again. "Please, go Winston, I can't stay here any longer. Life can't have me anymore but Death doesn't want me with you to be taken care of. Grandma will take care of you now."
I was so hurt with bitterness that my tears could not be held in and I left (dropping the breakfast tray and all).
Why Death why? Why do you make Mom want me to go? Why am I keeping her hear? How can you even love with the way you are? I don't love you anymore. I should have never loved you in the first place. I should have hated Mom. There. Now you can take her away. Take her away fast before I love her again.
I hate you!
Winston Bartly
