Dante tried to square his shoulders and stay calm, but he shook anyway. This was so hard for him. &quot;My Dad committed suicide last month.&quot; He whispered. Eve slapped a hand to her mouth in a silent gasp. I single, unnoticeable tear escaped from Dante's eye. Eve tried to reach out a comforting arm, but Dante whipped up and ran away. He didn't know where he was running, as long as he was alone someplace. He found a sidewalk curb and sat down heavily. He felt his back tingle uncomfortably far as his backside hit the concrete curb. He put his head down, and thought. He had a lot to think about. Not just his late father, but Eve, his mother....everything. Dante realized many things that few minutes on the curb. Everything seemed to surreal, other worldly. _Life's too short to worry about things like this._ He thought. The epiphany. 2008-03-29T13:44:44Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/25230 <p>Daaaang.
