"At my last girlfriend's funeral. She was a nurse and died a couple days after her second clot-shot."
"How old was your friend that died?"
"55."
"And you picked somebody else up at a woman's funeral? You're a pig."
"Maybe, but, Aleena approached me and asked if I was Jim. We chatted and I gave her my business card. She called me two months later and wanted to come see me. Wasn't my call.
She's going home to her family soon, a couple, three weeks."
"Where's that?"
"Vilnius. Lithuania. She had a logistics (moving) company take her car and her stuff a few weeks ago. She'll get on the silverbird when her shit gets close to home."
The whole deal devolved from there. Aleena had no future here with me. I was tempted to go with her, but I'm too old.
I'll miss her.
“The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy… but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”
