When I got home Sally was sitting on the couch watching TV
- the morgue is going to be closed for a while - i say
- oh no my poor baby, what happened? - she ask with a sweet voice
- a corpse disappeared and they sent us home -
- oh no so sorry -
I was sobbing and she kept saying "oh no", I had my head on her shoulder and she was hugging me while stroking my hair, she moved my bangs and kissed my forehead,
- come here - she said as she put her hands behind my back and made me hug her
I was very bent over from the pain, which made me have my head between her breasts, i turn my head towards the screen
- what are you watching? -
- that old audio from 1937 that we like so much -
- dangerously yours? -
- Yes, let's watch it togheter, it will make you feel better -
We settled on the sofa, there was the scene before Rudolphs monologue, we knew it by heart
- you lie to me, you decived me - Katherine and Sally said in unison
- you try to decived me -
- im tired of listening to you -
- you gave me your heart, you know? Youd like to hand it back whole again, but i wont... you live a long time yet Katherine, an eternity without me, you will look into the faces of passer by hoping for something that will for an instant bring me back to you. You will find moonlit nights strangely empry, because when you call my name trought them there will be no ones, always your heart will be aching for me, and your mind will give you the doubtful consolation that you did a brave thing -
- you like to talk braverly? -
- what else do we have to talk about Katherine? -
I started to feel nervous because of the strange hints that the TV was sending me,
- I have to go to the bathroom - i got up quickly, which surprised Sally
- oh ok, fine -

I loved her so much, something bad was going to happen if i didnt go to the morgue for so many days, if only Sallys love could cure how crazy and sick i am.
I met her in high school, i was surprised by her beauty the first time i saw her and she continues to do so every time i see her, somehow she became interested in me, one fall day her group of friends came to tell me "Sally likes you" i turned red like a tomato, during the break she went to talk to me, i didn't know what to say and i stuttered a lot so she just kissed me, we started dating and well, my relationship with her was one of the few things that i didn't destroy or ruin.
With her I am the only happy man on earth, sometimes i think that she is Ophelia and im Hamlet, but that is not true, my love for her was and always will be as real as the heat of the sun on the earth, I will never stop loving her.

Ive been home for 3 days, i cant take this anymore, im dying, im sinking, i cant take this suffering, i want to commit suicide and cry just out of pure rage.
