Honorable Mention In Memoriam Cat Hermosa "Eat everything on your plate, not only meat and rice but the vegetables too." With a grimace, I did as I was told. carefully chewed and swallowed each morsel, even if the vegetables were too bitter and difficult to swallow. Controlling the impulse to gag, I stood to leave, but then your hand, warm on my forearm, drew my sullen gaze away from my empty plate towards your smiling eyes: "Vegetables are good for you." Now, here I stand before your grave, touching cold marble with trembling hands, while slowly, deliberately, chewing grief. |
