from Where the Vampire Squid Live

“Derek?”
“Yes, Grandpa?”
“Where are you, Biggie Boy?”
“I’m here, grandpa.”
“But I can’t see you!”
“What can you see, grandpa?”
“I………..I can’t see anything.”
“But I can see you.  I can always see you.”
“Why can’t I see you, Chico?”
“Because you’re gone, grandpa.”
“But I didn’t want to go yet.”
“I know, grandpa…I know.  Grandpa, I didn’t turn out to be a bad man.”
“I love you, Derek, and I miss you like crazy.”
“Me, too, Grandpa….. me, too!”
