In Memoriam
by Belladonna

You walk up to his grave, like you do every year on that day.

„Hi, dad.“

You tell him about your life, what you've done recently. Meaningless and not so meaningless things, letting him be part of your life even though he cannot be, all he's missed because of a small piece of metal.

You know he's been a good man, no matter what is said about him, his possible connections to the crime.
For you, he's been your father and always will be.

You place the stones on his headstone, your fingers trace the name.

„James Gunther, beloved father.“
