House of Wolves
Dead!
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Ouch.
I crack open my eyes.
White.
It's painfully bright.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
It smells like... clean.
It's white.
I hate hospitals.
"And if your heart stops beating
I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life"
Why hello mom.
I love you too.
I open my mouth.
No sound.
Mom and Dad.
They're here.
Mom's crying.
Dad's drunk.
Luc...
I can almost hear him in the back of my mind.
'And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe'
I wonder if Luc lived.
No.
I'd know.
He's gone.
"Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this"
Mom.
Shut up.
Mom looks to Dad.
He tosses me a newspaper.
"Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway"
Two teens killed.
Church burned to the ground.
Two.
I'm dead?
No I'm not.
I wish I was.
'Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned.'
"I loved him mom."
My voices crackles.
Mom looks like I slapped her.
I have nothing else to say.
And wouldn't it be great If we were dead?
Ohh dead.
Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish.
"You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life"
She doesn't get it.
She doesn't understand.
Luc loved me.
'And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe'
He's echoing in the back of my mind.
Mom looks horrified.
"Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this "
Why?
Do I deserve this?
Is it my fault?
I hate life.
"Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway"
Dad.
Drunk.
So drunk.
At least he's smiling.
And laughing.
Hysterically.
So drunk...
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?
Oh good.
The doctor's here.
Just in time.
He can be my witness.
To my screwed up family.
Hi!
I'm gay.
He's drunk.
She's dellusional.
Join us?
"And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication in your heart"
Fuck.
"So long, 'Cause now you've got
Maybe just two weeks to live!"
Way to be positive Dad.
Tears are rolling down my cheeks.
Dad's right.
I'm dead.
Mom's crying.
Dad's laughing.
"Is that the most the both of you can give?"
Mom leaves.
Dad looks at me.
And sits there.
Just sits there.
"My only child is gay.
And he died twice.
And now I've lost my wife."
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why am I dead?
DEAD!
Hold on Luc.
I'll see you in 2 weeks.
Because,
I'm dead.
