“ Happy Birthday Grim Reaper”

The day was beautiful and bright.
The sky couldn't be any bluer.
Everything couldn't be more perfect.
I should be happy, but I'm not, but I always feel this way.
It's okay, it's my special day.
It's my birthday.
Everyone is here, my Mom, my Dad and my little sister. Grandma and Grandpa will be here soon.
I see a Packard on the gravel driveway, they are here and they brought my aunt Catherine.
She always smells like perfume and cherry cough drops, but I love her so.
Another car appears in the driveway and my cousins whom I hardly see, but are always friendly to me.
They only seem to be at birthdays and funerals.
Dear old Dad mans the barbecue grill and the burgers and hot dogs are starting to sizzle, I can see the smoke from here.
Mom is putting the finishing touches on my birthday cake.
Fourteen today the card says, signed by everyone.
It great day today I smell the wildflowers and smoke, smells wonderfully.
A light summer breeze carries the smell of the summer sun and all that comes with it.
We are all set at the table and eating till we get our fill, everyone laughing and having a good time.
As the day went winding down everyone congratulated the birthday boy.
As my Mom and family were cleaning up.
My Mom and Dad asked how the party was, I said it was great thank you.
Grandma asked how I was feeling.
I said I was okay.
I grabbed my dirty plate and took it to the sink with the others.
I remember seeing my dad's trusty 38 in the junk drawer in the kitchen.
I remember he let me use it a few times to shoot cans it was fun.
So grab it and put it in my pocket and grab a bullet too.
It was getting dark the light at the end of the driveway came on.
Everyone was sitting and drinking around a small bonfire my Dad made.
I went outside old screen door slammed behind me.
No one seems to pay attention, with all the laughing.
I walk across the yard to my Mom and Dad's old camping trailer that we used last summer.
The door was unlocked so I went in and shut the door behind me.
I grab the gun and the bullet out of my pocket.
I loaded the gun and put it to the temple of my head and I said Happy Birthday Grim Reaper and pulled the trigger.
