hope was a dangerous thing. even the tiniest, little chance that it could be true, that it wasn’t someone being cruel and playing a trick, that fred could really be alive.. he couldn’t allow it. it would break him, all over again, when it turned out not to be real. “oh, bloody hell! you know what, they’re probably fucking laughing at us right now. whoever’s doing this-- gave us hope. it’s some sick fucking joke!” charlie clenched his fist, resisting the urge to hit something. he wanted it to be real. more than anything. he took a few deep breaths, composing himself, his tone softening. “we all saw it, bill. we saw him. fred’s gone.”
