My uncle
Posted in Uncategorized on 01/31/2009 01:47 pm by rachelMarkus is dead. Can’t believe I just had to write those words.
He was found in a hotel room in Peru (didn’t even know he was in Peru).
As to why, how, all that – we don’t know.
My uncle – mum’s brother, my science geek inspiration. Dead. Just can’t get my head around it. I keep thinking about him here, and then not here. What was I doing at the moment he died? Did something happen to me, like a cosmic hint, that I missed? I keep trying to think if I had an unusual dream or, I dunno, a sudden shooting pain or something. But actually I think I just got on with my life, while thousands of miles away Markus’ life ended.
I can’t sleep for thinking about A) Markus, B) Where is he now? C) Did he suffer? D) What happened to him? And even a little bit of E) Well if he can do it, eventually so can I. But mostly I just can’t stop thinking, what the hell happened? Why is my uncle dead?
It’s not like I even saw him all that often, but I miss him so much it’s like a physical pain. There’s a split second after I wake up when everything’s OK, then I remember.
I so wish you were here xxx
Help me find out what happened to my Uncle.
