Brian's Memorial

             Today we all got up and packed the truck we’ll have plenty of supplies for the next couple weeks. I raided the drug stores pharmacy for necessities like anti-virals, pain killers, and antibiotics. After we packed we started on the memorial. I carved a head stone using a wood burning kit I found in his garage. Raito put together a playlist of music that would play on loop at the memorial until the juice ran out. Which would be a long time from now, since Zoey hooked up a series of light straight to the electrical grid, and she wired in the iPod and speaker. Luna made some bouquets for all of us to leave, and Nicky got a box of Brian’s stuff to bury.

      After we all finished our tasks we lowered the box into a hole I dug, and took turns putting dirt on it. Afterwards we placed our bouquets, and a I gave a eulogy. “Brian Was a great friend before all this madness started we would all have dinner together and Brian was the one making us laugh. He never let anyone change him. Even with all this he still stayed upbeat. A lot could be said of Brian. He was a great strategist, funny, kind…” Incredibly handsome” said a voice behind me. I continued “Incredi…, wait…” I spun around and there was Brian a bent machete in one hand and handles bars from his bike in the other. He had the saddle bags from his bike around his neck. He was also missing a shoe, and…his pants.

      I just stood jaw on the floor, when I felt a rush of air behind me. It was Nicky running at full speed towards him she jumped and hugged him knocking him to the ground she started kissing him all over his face, but then stopped. She slapped him right across the face and stood up, grabbing the handles bars from him. Brian asked, “What was that for?!” “That was for making me go through mourning.” She started wiling on him with the handle bars chasing him around the yard, while yelling at him. After a couple minutes he turned to face her. Grabbed the handle bars, and took them from her, and started pulling her towards him. She fought him but finally she gave up and he held her tight as she cried into his shoulder Brian simply said “I’m sorry.” They just stood there for several minutes her crying and him holding her trying not to cry. After she wiped her eyes of tear and he choked down his, they walked back over to us all. I asked Brian “What Happened”, and he told me “I’ll tell you later right now I need food, and pants.” He still hasn’t told me I’ll fill you all in tomorrow if he tells me. By this time tomorrow we’ll be at my home in Concord.
