In front of my eyes I saw a large container of chocolate ice cream. I took it out and looked under the lid. He was barely spilled. I have come to the conclusion that at a certain age memory gaps are not unusual.
"Hey Aunt Lucy," I called. - You have a whole container of ice cream in the fridge.
- Really? she shouted back from the room, pretending to be amazed.
I put the ice cream back in its place, closed the freezer compartment, came back and sat down on the couch with her.
- What is going on? - I asked.
"I've been to the doctor," she replied.
- Yes? Is something wrong with you?
- I'm dying, Terry.
- How should I understand that? What's wrong?
- Don't worry, I'm not going down here and now. I had about six months, maybe a year. Nobody can define it exactly. Some people reach an impressive age, but I don't have a long happy old age ahead of me. It's not for me. Honestly, if anything, I'd rather walk away quickly and without pain. It would be so much easier.
- What's wrong with you, Lucy? She shrugged.
- It doesn't matter anymore. They did a whole series of tests for me. Some of them want to repeat it again just to be absolutely sure, but I doubt it will change anything. The point is, I'm nearing the finish line. I'd rather not tell you about it right away, because you've had a lot of traumatic experiences lately. Twenty-five years, then this one
reportage ... -. - You were shocked after him.
Tess closed her eyes for a moment, shook her head, and replied:
- Freaks. As soon as they see something on TV, they go straight to the phone book.
- I thought exactly the same, but I would understand if you told me.
"I know, Maddie will have to find out about my condition someday anyway." It's probably just a matter of timing. Heavy treads on the basement stairs rumbled and after a while Kate and Maddie appeared with her new treasure under her arm, when suddenly, Kate got a call, it was William. He sounded sad and at the same time scared.
"I have bad news," he began. -the police found an old car wreck near the national park, I was just going on a trip with my girlfriend, when I saw the police car, you won't believe what I saw there, I called you right away.
-What? What the police found? Does this have anything to do with Alan's family? She knew what she was going to hear when Alan interrupted her.
-What? Is it about my parents and sister? What? Tell me have they found each other? Please tell me, he said hopefully his parents and sister may have found each other.
-Kate found the remains in the car. These remains are Alan's parents and his sister. I'm sorry. - He showed sympathy.
- Is it true? Kate asked.
She couldn't believe it.
-I'm so sorry, but it's true. Alan's parents are dead. Please pass on this information and sympathy. It's ... Take care. Kate couldn't believe it, everything they'd done so far had been wasted. She would have to tell him.
-Kate? Alan began. What happened, why did you become sad?
-Alan, I'm so sorry. - she can't, it's hard to say. - What? Why?
-Alan, your parents are dead. - She cried, she couldn't strangle it in herself.
-How? - he felt that he was about to cry himself. - How did they die?
-Your family's body was found in the car, they had an accident, I'm sorry.
"No." Alan interrupted her. - it's nobody's fault, at least I know they haven't abandoned me. He walked over to her and took her in his arms. They stood there until it got dark outside the windows.
