Waste
After Death Messages
It took me until the wee hours of the morning to actually go to sleep and stay asleep but the nightmares of me having to kill my mother and what had happened yesterday all mixed together into one horrific nightmare. I looked down at the graves of my parents from my window and I sighed before rubbing my hands over my face. I tried to rack my brain with the damn riddle my father had said to me before he took his last breath but nothing was leaping into my mind. It really didn't make sense. How could my mother be the key if she's buried deep in the ground and deader than a damn doornail? I sighed out in frustration and left my room as I heard the others shuffling around downstairs. I could smell the food being cooked downstairs and my stomach growled. I wanted to ignore it but I knew I needed to keep my strength. I grabbed my holster from the dresser and strapped it around my waist before putting my loaded guns in the holster and leaving my room.
I slowly went down the stairs and into the kitchen still trying to figure out what the hell he meant. I fixed my a plate not speaking to anyone and sat down at the table. I picked at the food on my plate. My mind was just distracting me from eating. I took a mouthful of the food and the deliciousness of Felicity's cooking made me continue to eat. I ate my fill and washed up my plate and put it into the drainer beside the sink. I stayed by the sink as everyone else finished eating and Felicity sat up on the counter as I washed the dishes.
"You haven't said a word this morning Serenity. Is there something on your mind?"
"I'm trying to figure out what dad meant before he died. It just doesn't make any sense." I said rinsing the dishes before putting them into the drainer.
"I've tried to figure it out too but nothing comes to mind."
"I was thinking about going through dad's things. Maybe there would be something that could help us with this damn riddle." I said jumping on the counter and sitting beside her.
"That's a good idea. Let's get to it!" She jumped off the counter top pulling me with her. I just about fell on my ass but I followed right behind her as she ran up the stairs. We got to the room my dad was occupying and we immediately started going through his things.
I searched through his bag of clothes and couldn't find anything. I dropped a pair of his jeans in the floor and bent over to pick them up when I seen a paper sticking out of the pocket. I grabbed the jeans from teh floor and plucked the paper from the pocket. I unfolded the paper and read over it.
My dear and loving daughters,
I know what I said on my death bed was a puzzle and I hope you all can figure it out. There are more notes just like this one distributed all over the house and even places that we've been to together. On the bottom of the fourth drawer of the dresser, you will find a note there. Follow what it says and you will find the answers you are looking for...I will always love you and Felicity. I know that you will mourn but don't. I know how much you love me and you will always be with me in my dead heart. I love you my only daughers...
Dad
There will be more messages? I wonder how many more letters he wrote out before he died and how in the hell did he get them put anywhere without anyone seeing him do it? This is going to be some strange after dead messages...
