Falls of the Hinterlands 99 problems and a body ain't one

for @Vengeance

He had come back because the weak part of him felt crippling guilt for not saying goodbye to his father properly. 

"he's dead there is nothing to say goodbye to" the common sense and cold logic whispered. 


But he didn't grasp that. He didn't like the idea that his dad just stopped existing. Somewhere he felt that he was being watched by his father and he didn't want to hurt his feelings. So he had gone back and regretted it immensely. The body he had left behind was torn open, stinking and bloody and just horrific to stare at. The vivid pink and crimson was shocking and he stared, his breath quick and shallow before he turned and vomited beside the water. He didn't want to say goodbye to...to that. He licked his lips and turned away, drinking the cool water to rid his mouth if the sour taste of vomit and avoiding glancing at the body again. "That's not my dad no more...not my dad. Just..just a stinking meat mound" he said aloud to himself, forcing the lump in his throat to go down.
