I saw on the British news a dead man in Northern Ireland lying half covered with a sheet on. I had nightmares.
Every child has nightmares. And perhaps if the reality of death was something you were familiar with, and which your parents did not hide from you, you might not have reacted as you did.
I was about 6 years old,
when my grandmother died.
It creeped me out, in a big way,
as the police removed the body.
Who shot her?
I dunno.
She was in bed, in an unarmed condition. That 's where she went rong.
On the other hand,
the police were well armed, and
thay were OK: Q.E.D.
She actually
was shot?! I was only kidding...
Me too.
I was told that she had a heart attack,
but I was not informed as to whether her heart was attacked
with an ax, a garrote, a bom, or a gun.
Is death the ultimate censorship ??
