He stood there... Starring ..... Just ... crying ... and .... Starring ....
He hasn’t looked away Since the second he walked in And found his best friend Lisa dead ....Who’s head..... Was mostly covering the wall That was behind her.....
like an Erie painting meant to be horrific..., but somehow .... still ... it was....beautiful ....hard to explain... But.....beautiful....
and as the police arrive still his eyes.... They Stay glued to the wall blood stained with reds, chunks spread, Leaving subtle traces of pinks and Purples ....
then Lisa’s mother still crying asks:
“are you ok? “Let’s go....come on... and though she said this to him.... Her body language ...... Like his..... indicted ...... that she could not walk away and now she also stares ......
he says ...
“I’m a bit in shock I think ..... And feel guilt from feeling maybe ... I could have done .....more Lisa was my best friend...”
and as he says this his cries Burst out and breaks harder ..... but .... never talkin his eyes off the wall
her mom replied “ she loved you so much ..”
and still tbey stare , both crying.
Then he says :
“Do you think ammonia will be Used to clean this up??”
Puzzled, her mom replies :
“I’m not sure ....why?”
he says;
“Because ... I think this will sound crazy but... the way her blood , And all her insides splattered.... It’s..... it’s beautiful.....
And this caused them both to cry even harder... , but also..... Chuckle for a split Second as they both knew the comment ... was Seemingly out of place .... But as they both still stare ... Hypnotized by the wall..... they both knew it Was said genuinely....
Then he says .... I really wish she could see this ...
Her mom even mow perplexed says: “Why?”
and still, Never looking away he says:
...because ... she always said ..... she felt ugly ... said .... She was ugly ....
Her mom says : ...I know ... she was teased a lot in school I think .... I think she said it so much .... That she believed it...
He says : “ I know ... she said it so much to me That after a while I’d get sick of hearing it ... And often told her....
Her mom says ....
“ I know ... you always said Being beautiful on the inside was More important....
( Still starring) he says : “....ya...ironic isn’t it .....”
Her mom: “What is?”
He says :
....that she wasn’t ugly at all her beauty was like ..... Like ... Mona Lisa.... Off putting.....esoteric.... but .....beautiful... and when they clean it ... ....it’ll be ammonia Lisa ... left ...... To be..... what she thought she wasn’t .... beautiful ... Beautiful as art.....
Like a painting so beautiful Even her insides that should be Hard to look at .... are left like a symbolic piece of art ... the leaves her looking the way she never felt she was .... Beautiful....
