The Conversation About Nothing. by RemenZack(f): 5:53am On Jul 24, 2016
*In the still of the night, a Mother faraway gets a text from her 12-year old Son*

Son: Why do people cry?

Mother: Because that was our first reaction as humans.

Son: Are you happy?

Mother: I'm a thousand miles away from you. That doesn't define happiness.

Son: Do you love me?

Mother: I'm awake talking to you at this odd hour of the night.

Son: Why did Grandpapa die?

Mother: Don't cry when I die, Son.

Son: What happens when we die?

Mother: What happens when we don't die?

Son: Does dying hurt?

Mother: Living isn't fun either.

Son: What about my Father? Where is he?

Mother: Where am I?

Son: Do you miss being with me?

Mother: You cried for days after you were weaned.

Son: When will you be back?

Mother: I won't be back.
