Life Tradgey

On a dark, quiet night a man was sleeping on his couch minding his own business. Dreaming of the stars and space in which he was so interested. He didn't know it but the grim reaper was breathing down his neck from a few rooms away. The soft steps of death didn't wake him from the deep sleep he had fallen into. As death got closer and closer the room got colder, colder. Stopped at the back of the sofa with a rifle ready to fire was a shadowy figure with a finger on the trigger. The room lit up with a flash of light and the shot was heard blocks away, the man lays murdered with a bullet to the head. The lights come on and the shadowy figure can be made out to be his loving wife. A man in a wonderland of dreams, life is ended with a pull of a trigger from his own wife.

Sound like it's just a story made up or a blurb from the end of a murder mystery? Ha, I wish. The paragraph above tells of my closest uncle to me, Uncle Tom. His life was taken when I was just 7, in his Florida house. His wife, Aunt Loraine, snapped one day and took the only relative that love the sky and science as much as I did. He loved me like he would have loved a son. When my family went down to visit them every year he would have something for me that dealt with the sky and the stars. Those are my best memories of my life, going down there and seeing him. He knew what I liked and he was able to relate to me and my love for science. I just want to know one thingÐ'... what the fuck was going through my Aunt's mind at the time!? Why did she have to take away the one person I could talk about the planets and look at the consolations without being criticized?

There are nights where I just wish he was still around for me to talk to him. No one ever wants to hear about atoms and molecules, it is all boring to some people. But not to him, everything was fascinating to him. Why can't he come backÐ'...? Jesus was reincarnated. Why can't I just get one wish in my life and bring my Uncle who didn't deserve death back. To now see what kind of student and teen his little science intrigued nephew has turned out to be. I would make him proud. I would sell my soul just to see him for one day, hour, minute, second... anything.

Life is just unfair when it comes to loved ones being taken away. One day they could be there by
