Jake’s Pain (Microfiction)
He answered the call at 12:47 AM in a panic. “Next of Kin” meant waking up at all hours of the night when your big sister has done something unthinkable.
“Can you come in to identify the body?”
Can I do what?! She did what?! How was her mental health?! If she jumped from the 14th floor of her building, what is left for me to identify?!
Thunder roared, and the midnight rain poured like it would be the last.
Maybe she wanted to die first . . .
Maybe that’s why she did it.
A Cornered Gurl 
sad for all involved but she wanted to be of help to others. An altruistic soul.
poor Jake. Now he has to go identify. So sad.
great story telling.

Jake had more than enough to cope with without having to deal with this, too!

There’ll be more. She left something important for Jake, too.
But you’re right. 🙏🏾💙
