Brutal Valentines
Brutal Valentine's Chapter thirteen
Chapter 13 - Crying
Told by Nathan
610pm
Charles runs out of the room and everything goes quiet for a minute except Toki's sobs.
The silence is broken when Pickles suddenly exclaims “Seriously! What de feck is goin on guys!”
Toki's sobs get louder and I can't bring myself to talk about it so I just point at the TV control petal, Pickles following my gesture and kicks on the TV.
The Dethklok Minute comes on, filling the large television screen. Dethklok's bassist William Murderface died today in a Dethkopter crash reads a caption that scrolls endlessly across the bottom of the TV; while a memorial reel of photos flickers by in the background. Each picture shows Murderface at some various point or other in time.
There are shots of him from our concerts, shots of him with other bands before we started Dethklok, public appearance shots including one from that god awful X Mas special he did, and one of him high as a kite dragging his ass on the racetrack during the Nascar theater hybrid event he threw. There are even a couple of pictures of Murdeface as a kid, which I know would embarrass the hell out of him.
It's strange, part of me keeps thinking that I'm going to have a lot of fun teasing him about these pictures being on TV later. Then the grim reality that I can't because he's dead- they’re showing the god damn pictures because he's dead -creeps back in. Fuck this is like some weird twisted nightmare.
“Dis is dildos!” Skwisgaar exclaims “Hows cans de reporders be knowinks he's deads befores we does?”
Toki slowly lets go of Skwisgaar and makes his way over to me sitting beside me, Toki wraps his arms around me.
“I is so sorry Nathans. So, so sorry. I knows you cares about Morderface alots.” He whispers
Something inside of me breaks at those words and I find myself finally shedding tears over the death of the man I love.
