you wrote it, i edited.
walking to the car
my mom was watching me go
i turned around and yelled
hows our neighbor doing?
the old man who stands outside in his front yard always talking and chatting
my whole life, he's there
telling us when there's parking, etc
and he was recently
sick
she yelled back, he died two days ago
i yelled back really? that's terrible.
and she agreed
but we were far away
in the dark
a few steps later
there was a box of romance novels
i yelled back about them
to her
but she'd seen them
gone thru them earlier
i got in the car
and drove home
