Show Inside Out, 110 There was so much here, and yet there was too much missing. Like, what was the cause of death? Why hadn't they listed it? When people don't list the cause of death in an obituary, that means it was a suicide-right? Had Joseph killed himself? And why wasn't he IM-ing me now? The funeral was held at a Stake Center, which I knew was a Mormon church building. So Terra was Mormon. What did "when God makes all things understood" mean? Was that some Mormon phrase? Joseph had loved the desert. That explained his e-mail address. And an avid reader. Had he read Salinger? I couldn't help thinking of that picture from the yearbook. Those dark, dancing eyes. What had happened to him? From: Andli <Charcoalchic(5)vahoo.com> To: Joseph <desertsageJoseph@yahoo.com> Dear Joseph, Where are you? Don't you come to the library anymore? I'm sorry I was ignoring you. But I didn't think it was fair of you not to tell me more. I still think ifs not. If you want me to be able to reach Terra, I have to know more of whaf s bothering her. How did you die? Joseph never IM'd me, or e-mailed me back. I finally went home. Denver didn't call that night. |
