Story 10
“Even though she used to dislike me”
Lately, my niece often comes to my apartment, where I live alone, and cooks meals for me.
The other day, maybe because my brother—who is also my niece’s father—passed away, she might be treating me as a stand-in for her father. I appreciate that she cooks, but still… the food is awful.
“Actually, when my father passed away, the funeral home gave me a coupon.”
“Oh? What kind?”
“It’s one that gives you half off the next funeral if it’s within a month.”
