two years ago<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was diagnosed with</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">melanoma cancer</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> it was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the most</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">unexpected diagnosis in the world one</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">moment</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I was worried about my work</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my</font> kids my wife<font color="#E5E5E5"> fixing the downstairs sink</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">reflooring the back patio but once my</font> diagnosis came<font color="#E5E5E5"> in everything changed my</font> whole perspective on what mattered <font color="#E5E5E5">changed which was good and it's what</font> should happen<font color="#CCCCCC"> to anyone who gets</font> diagnosed with cancer<font color="#E5E5E5"> options were</font> discussed plans were investigated and treatments were researched we worked with the doctors and<font color="#CCCCCC"> listened to</font> everything that they had<font color="#E5E5E5"> to say with</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">solidarity we decided not to say</font> anything<font color="#E5E5E5"> to anyone at least not right</font> away they were still conducting tests to verify<font color="#E5E5E5"> how serious it was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and determine</font> the exact stage it was beyond superficial<font color="#CCCCCC"> they said but but they still</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">needed to determine other factors so</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we</font> waited<font color="#E5E5E5"> until we knew</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> exactly</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> what we</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">were facing Beth was more scared than</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I</font> was which was understandable no matter what she was going<font color="#E5E5E5"> to have to step in</font> and<font color="#E5E5E5"> take charge</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the family</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> whether I</font> passed away<font color="#CCCCCC"> or was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> just too weak from</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">treatments she would have to take care</font> of both me<font color="#CCCCCC"> and our two</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> kids</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> plus work</font> and income<font color="#E5E5E5"> our parents offered</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to help</font> as much<font color="#E5E5E5"> as</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> they could but I knew that my</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">parents weren't very</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> well</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> off money-wise</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">overtime wise</font> they both worked full-time<font color="#CCCCCC"> they paid the</font> almost complete<font color="#E5E5E5"> mortgage and take care</font> of<font color="#E5E5E5"> the house which</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> was falling apart I</font> had no<font color="#E5E5E5"> idea about her parents situation</font> then came<font color="#CCCCCC"> the worst</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> day of</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> best life and</font> the second worst day<font color="#CCCCCC"> of mine the full</font> diagnosis the doctor spent months <font color="#E5E5E5">treating me while poking and prodding my</font> body with tests<font color="#E5E5E5"> they had come to a</font> complete consensus<font color="#E5E5E5"> I would die within</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> next year the cancer had spread too</font> far<font color="#E5E5E5"> for me to ever truly recover it they</font> can<font color="#E5E5E5"> only prolong my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> life with treatments</font> maybe<font color="#E5E5E5"> even beyond that year mark but not</font> that much<font color="#CCCCCC"> I was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> going</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to die and no</font> amount<font color="#E5E5E5"> of money begging or crying could</font> stop it Beth and I had a fight<font color="#CCCCCC"> that day</font> I knew I shouldn't have oily <font color="#E5E5E5">but I did anyway I suggested that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> we not</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">spend another dime on treatment let the</font> inevitable happen and keep me comfortable<font color="#CCCCCC"> I don't want you to be</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">drowning in debt after I pass Beth</font> refused and<font color="#CCCCCC"> said that I was being</font> irrational and<font color="#E5E5E5"> that we should spend</font> every penny<font color="#E5E5E5"> we had to prolong my life as</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">long as possible I'm</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> RELIGIOUS</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and she</font> is not<font color="#E5E5E5"> that that's any explanation it</font> was a<font color="#CCCCCC"> nasty fight</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> we made up</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> when she</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">woke up sobbing</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I had to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> hold her I</font> agreed to pay<font color="#E5E5E5"> for treatments to extend</font> my life<font color="#E5E5E5"> I mean after all she would</font> suffer more<font color="#CCCCCC"> than I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> would I could give</font> her more<font color="#CCCCCC"> time at</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> very least that's</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">not the horror portion of this story if</font> it was complet others could post<font color="#CCCCCC"> her</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">about it now the cancer brought the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">family out</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of the Woodworks</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> everyone</font> messaging us on a<font color="#E5E5E5"> Facebook apologizing</font> for my<font color="#E5E5E5"> condition and giving us empty</font> promises to help apparently<font color="#CCCCCC"> our parents</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> have let the news</font> slip<font color="#CCCCCC"> I ended up stopping my access to</font> Facebook<font color="#CCCCCC"> there is no</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> reason to see that</font> every day I started treatment<font color="#E5E5E5"> which made me weaker</font> and more<font color="#E5E5E5"> irritable each time</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I hate</font> watching<font color="#CCCCCC"> myself snappa</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Beth over</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">something so</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> simple</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I couldn't help it</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> could only</font> watch<font color="#CCCCCC"> from the inside my mind as her</font> soul<font color="#E5E5E5"> was crushed</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I regretted allowing her to spend</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> money</font> on treatment the worst day<font color="#CCCCCC"> of my</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> life</font> happened when<font color="#CCCCCC"> death brought</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> me breakfast</font> in<font color="#E5E5E5"> bed one of the boys had left his toy</font> cars on the floor and she slipped the tray<font color="#E5E5E5"> emptied right into my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> lap along</font> with the kettle of<font color="#E5E5E5"> hot coffee</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I screamed</font> in yelping curse I said things that<font color="#E5E5E5"> I've</font> regretted every night and that's cried for days<font color="#CCCCCC"> because of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> my anger the worst</font> day of my<font color="#CCCCCC"> life was when</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Beth started to</font> resent me it was a visible<font color="#CCCCCC"> change</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> ever</font> since I yelled everything had been building<font color="#CCCCCC"> and that argument</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> had broken</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> dam she barely smiled and didn't</font> look me in the eyes often<font color="#CCCCCC"> i wasted away</font> in<font color="#E5E5E5"> bed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> paying for treatments that only</font> prolong the inevitable again<font color="#E5E5E5"> this isn't the horror part of the</font> story<font color="#CCCCCC"> I mean</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> yes it's terrible</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> but I pop</font> a story<font color="#E5E5E5"> it's a real horror he's showing</font> up at the house<font color="#E5E5E5"> completely unannounced</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">he was over 90</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and still walking</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> around</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">he had to take a taxi anywhere convinced</font> a family member to take<font color="#E5E5E5"> him away from</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the old folks home but he was relatively</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">functional that showed him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to my room</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">and left us alone</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> she didn't stay in the</font> room for<font color="#E5E5E5"> very long nowadays I hear</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">you're gonna beat me to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the grave not</font> the smile<font color="#E5E5E5"> his hand shaking</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> with</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> age fell</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">over one of mine the skin felt like thin</font> leather<font color="#E5E5E5"> clinging to a skeleton by mere</font> threads the skin on his arms hung<font color="#E5E5E5"> from</font> like<font color="#E5E5E5"> deflated balloons</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I wondered if my</font> body would<font color="#E5E5E5"> get to that</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> point</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> what would</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">my body look</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> like when I was dead</font> I just<font color="#E5E5E5"> might</font><font color="#CCCCCC">

color="#CCCCCC"> it as if it was nothing</font> it felt good<font color="#E5E5E5"> for once in my</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> life I felt</font> a kinship<font color="#E5E5E5"> with my grandpa how you feelin</font> he asked pulling up the rocking chair <font color="#CCCCCC">that that's used to use for rocking me</font> kids to sleep <font color="#E5E5E5">week but that's</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> every</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> day I said you're</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">still looking going though yes</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I fear</font> that<font color="#CCCCCC">

the</font> church<font color="#E5E5E5"> I started no it isn't since the</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">60s is allowed cremation so long as you</font> follow certain rules<font color="#CCCCCC"> I know how to value</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">our so I checked</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I stared</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> at him</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> in bewilderment I was</font> too shocked<font color="#E5E5E5"> to tell him to leave then in</font> my silence he continued<font color="#E5E5E5"> you</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> would be</font> cremated<font color="#E5E5E5"> placed

unsure</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> of what I was</font> going to<font color="#E5E5E5"> do</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I couldn't even</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> wash the</font> dishes without<font

color="#CCCCCC">Joseph</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I stared at my hands taking</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> deep</font> breaths so I wouldn't cry my legs were<font color="#CCCCCC"> starting to cramp up again</font> so I adjusted<font color="#E5E5E5"> papa</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> helped me once</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I was</font> settled<font color="#E5E5E5"> he continued it

color="#CCCCCC">front door open I didn't</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> even bother to</font> get up<font color="#E5E5E5"> if it was a burglar coming to</font> steal my things<font color="#CCCCCC"> let him in but they plan</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">to kill me too</font> I was<font color="#CCCCCC"> ok</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with that I heard them come</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> up</font> the stairs softly sneaking<font color="#E5E5E5"> around I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">closed my eyes to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> at least pretend to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">asleep then I heard them come in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> I</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">leaned forward</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> heart-pounding I opened</font> my eyes<font color="#CCCCCC"> and</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> when I thought a light kiss</font> on my cheek Joseph<font color="#E5E5E5"> she was there Melinda</font> had come home<font color="#E5E5E5"> to</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> me</font> I found myself scrambling to get off the bed while<font color="#CCCCCC"> she stood there</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> watching me</font> she stood perfectly still<font color="#CCCCCC"> and her eyes</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">were</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> bright</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and intelligent</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the last</font> time I had seen<font color="#E5E5E5"> her eyes they had been</font> empty<font color="#CCCCCC"> dead</font> now they were alive<font color="#E5E5E5"> with brilliant</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> color</font> and intelligence <font color="#CCCCCC">I yelled her name and I ran around</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> bed to see<font color="#CCCCCC"> her he stopped for a moment</font> to wipe his eyes it<font color="#E5E5E5"> was a ghost I</font> thought automatically and<font color="#E5E5E5"> then we</font> embraced he continued eyes narrowed<font color="#E5E5E5"> in</font> disbelief<font color="#CCCCCC"> at first I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> thought she was a</font> spirit a ghost<font color="#CCCCCC"> Papa said echoing my</font> thoughts<font color="#E5E5E5"> but but she was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> physically the</font> hair<font color="#CCCCCC"> I hugged her and kissed her and she</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">did the</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> same back she was there Joseph</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">she didn't say a</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> word and she didn't</font> have to we made it to the bed<font color="#CCCCCC"> and I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> was</font> just so<font color="#E5E5E5"> excited</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> see her I won't</font> specify<font color="#CCCCCC"> details for your

very real</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">he urged I'm not making this up gun</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I did not imagine</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> it</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I had proof show me</font> I said skeptically at the end I I will he assured me when I woke up I expected her to be<font color="#CCCCCC"> gone I expected her just to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> be</font> a figment of my imagination a<font color="#CCCCCC"> specter in a physical form but she was</font> there in the bed with<font color="#E5E5E5"> me watching</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> me</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">excitement over</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Kay me again and she</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">happily embraced with me yet again I</font> never<font

she</font> had gotten out how she made it home she wouldn't answer though<font color="#E5E5E5"> she just stared</font> at<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> with the happiest expression It</font> was as if she<font color="#E5E5E5"> didn't hear a word I said</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I went to the cemetery</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> that day and</font> brought her with<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font> my logic began to take hold once again and I came<font color="#E5E5E5"> up with answers perhaps we</font> have<font color="#E5E5E5"> buried the wrong body perhaps she</font> had<font color="#E5E5E5"> never died in the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> hospital in</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> first<font color="#E5E5E5"> place</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">perhaps it was somebody else's wife</font> buried<font color="#E5E5E5"> under Melinda's name</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I spoke</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> with</font> the director<font color="#CCCCCC"> of</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> cemetery and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">introduced my wife didn't see my wife's</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">body nor been at the funeral so he had</font> no idea<font color="#E5E5E5"> what she looked like</font> but he was absolutely skeptical<font color="#CCCCCC"> I told</font> him that<font color="#E5E5E5"> somebody else's</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> family member</font> was buried in her grave but he told<font color="#E5E5E5"> me</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">that it was impossible</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I understand to</font> dig up the<font color="#E5E5E5"> casket</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> and determine who was</font> really<font color="#E5E5E5"> buried there but</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> he refused I got</font> angry<font color="#E5E5E5"> and yelled trying to reiterate</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> my</font> point but he shook his<font color="#CCCCCC"> head</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and told us</font> there was nothing he could do<font color="#CCCCCC"> I left</font> feeling angry<font color="#E5E5E5"> strangely</font><font

that I</font> had been<font color="#E5E5E5"> gardening when I arrived the</font> most heartbreaking moment was when your mother try not<font color="#E5E5E5"> to cry</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> asked me</font> point-blank if I had dug up their mother's<font color="#E5E5E5"> body and taken it that was when</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">I realized</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> what they thought I'd

color="#E5E5E5">you saw your mother she was never buried</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">she's alive I urged she refused to</font> <font color="#CCCCCC">answer</font> she just clenched her jaw we pulled into the<font color="#E5E5E5"> driveway and everybody got</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> out I was</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">told to stay outside with</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> one</font><font

behind</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> as</font> well<font color="#CCCCCC"> Melinda must have</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> turned out all</font> the<font color="#CCCCCC"> lights and shut</font><font

into</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> living</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> room</font> figures on the back of my neck startled me<font color="#E5E5E5"> and I jumped out of my skin when</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> spun around<font color="#CCCCCC"> I saw your mother</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> she hits</font> for me to turn back<font color="#CCCCCC"> around so she could</font> see someone turned<font color="#E5E5E5"> on the</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> hallway light</font> and she poked<font color="#CCCCCC"> out my neck she has to</font> Arthur to take a look and he sucked in a deep breath<font color="#E5E5E5"> I asked what was</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> wrong but</font> was interrupted<font color="#CCCCCC"> by something</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> falling</font> over down the hall<font color="#E5E5E5"> in the bedroom I saw</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the officer that had stayed outside</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">exchanged a look with the first officer</font> the one<font color="#CCCCCC"> that had</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> entered the house and</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">assured the other one that there is no</font> one home I remember<font color="#CCCCCC"> saying very confidently relax</font> everybody<font color="#CCCCCC"> I told you Melinda's home</font> that's when<font color="#E5E5E5"> everything turned to hell a</font> figure dashed out of the bedroom<font color="#CCCCCC"> blood</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">on their hands and feet</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> like an animal</font> everyone was<font color="#E5E5E5"> yelling as it sped towards</font> us down the hallway<font color="#E5E5E5"> the single light</font> above<font color="#E5E5E5"> it obscured its face in the shadow</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">and made its movements look unnatural</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font> heard a hiss and<font color="#E5E5E5"> the my eyes exploded it</font> took me a moment to realize<font color="#E5E5E5"> that both of</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">the officers</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> had begun firing at the</font> thing it recoiled but only for a second <font color="#E5E5E5">I saw the cops yell something using a</font> free hand to push all<font color="#CCCCCC"> of us back I tried</font> to scream<font color="#E5E5E5"> at them to stop</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> firing because</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">they might hit Melinda but I knew right</font> then<font color="#CCCCCC"> that I was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> in the wrong and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> that</font> I'd been in the wrong<font color="#E5E5E5"> the whole time</font> for those first<font color="#E5E5E5"> few and</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> 10 seconds I</font> thought<font color="#E5E5E5"> someone or something else had</font> broken into<font color="#E5E5E5"> the house but another full</font> glance at the thing crawling towards us told me that it was Melinda<font color="#CCCCCC"> it was and</font> it wasn't the gunshots didn't do anything<font color="#CCCCCC"> there</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> weren't even holes on her</font> body<font color="#CCCCCC"> I</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> fell over</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> the couch</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> and ended up</font> rolling<font color="#E5E5E5"> onto the floor your mother</font> screamed and tried<font color="#CCCCCC"> to</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> help me up</font> the two<font color="#E5E5E5"> cops formed</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> barrier between us</font> and<font

of<font color="#E5E5E5"> the kitchen your dad jumped through</font> the<font color="#E5E5E5"> doorway and landed on</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> Melinda I saw</font> her mouth open in she spun her head around<font color="#CCCCCC"> as</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> Eva grabbed her that's when I</font> saw<font color="#E5E5E5"> the fangs</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> 2 foot long fangs had</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">changed from her teeth into needle</font> points<font color="#E5E5E5"> like a saber-toothed tiger time</font> froze<font color="#E5E5E5"> for me in that instant as I saw</font> Melinda for what she really<font color="#CCCCCC"> was</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> time</font> continued when Arthur plunged the steak knife into her<font color="#CCCCCC"> back</font> the result<font color="#E5E5E5"> was instantaneous I remember</font> thinking<font color="#CCCCCC"> it he would anger by stabbing</font> <font color="#E5E5E5">but instead it dropped like</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> a corpse</font><font color="#E5E5E5"> the</font> officers kept yelling I<font color="#E5E5E5"> think</font><font color="#CCCCCC"> him making</font> wild motions with<font color="#CCCCCC"> their free
