Every time I close my eyes the vision of my brother's lifeless body, blood dripping from his fragile hand onto my face, stains my eyelids. There is not a day that goes by where I don’t wish it was me instead of him. I know my parents feel the same way. They can’t even look at me. Haven’t really since the funeral. I don’t blame them, though. It’s my fault that John isn’t here. I know it, they know it, everybody knows it.
