HOWLING

HECTOR APOLLO ARAGON

When I got to the memorial where dad was buried, I stopped crying. But it wasn't long before I fainted again when I saw his name engraved on the tombstone. I fell down and sat there and bent down to catch up with him.

"P-papa… I miss you so much…" I whispered in my trembling voice. "I-I don't know what to do anymore. I'm fighting… I'm fighting because I know you still believe in me and that I can handle it but… b-but it's hard. I-I'm having a hard time. You're the only one who encourages me… y-you're the only one who believes in me… y-you're the only one who can't lie to me… I can't do this anymore!" I cried incessantly.
