Today's writing

I tug on a black sweater and a black-and-white tartan skirt. I smooth black leggings from my toes to my hips and slide into the only pair of heels I own.

And there’s Christopher’s voice: Damn. You look hot.

Oh, I know. I know he can’t see me, that he’s in the bathroom getting prepared for my funeral, yeah, yeah, yeah. That doesn’t stop me from hearing his voice the way I heard it for years. And of course now I idealize him. You know how the living romanticize the dead? The dead return the favor.
