Come, let's take a selfie together
But not on my right side
On the left
Because that is my good side
Nah. The lighting isn't right
It's a bit too harsh.
Let's try that spot over there.
Natural light and all that jazz.
*Snaps*
Naaaah.
This is not it.
Way too much light
Never mind.
We will take a selfie next time.
Except that next time never comes.
You've been shot
And I'm here trying to message you
About what the news is trying to say happened to you
And then I remember.
Dead people do not respond to messages
The connection has been cut off.
Permanently.
And now here I am trying to take a selfie
In every sense of the word.
I don't care about my right side
Or the lighting
I would give anything to take one last selfie together
With
You.
Snap.
