Hard Days

Last time I saw him, he put his hands on the Bible and said these words out loud ‘I, Justin swear to you on this day which is the 21st of December, 1999. I will live to love my parents and respect them, I will not steal from them anymore, I will listen to them and above all, I will NEVER..R drink again.’ That day, I could see it in his eyes, it was true, he meant those words. ‘You were all there, you heard him’

‘It has been 5 months since I last saw him after that night, I didn’t know he had gone back to his old ways’ I told them. The mother took a long sad breath and said ‘hmmm it took him barely 3 hours after that speech to resume a bottle of Brandy. He wouldn’t stop since then, until today when we received a call from the hospital saying he was hit by a Train’.

I was in shock, so Justin is dead? I thought to myself.
