"did you know him at all?" the girl whispered to the man. she looked upon the brown casket i front of them, the dead man's photo on a stand.

"no," he whispered back. "we only talked a couple times at work. real nice guy. you know his friend died a couple years ago?"

the girl gasped. "that's so horrible. his friend's death, and now his own suicide. those poor men."

"it truly is awful. after the winter of sixty four, he became a drunk. didn't take long for him to get fired." he said. "i felt so bad for him. his friend died and that was it, alone forever."

the girl swirled her drink. "i have a feeling that they're together, now, you know?"

the man nodded.

"they're in peace with each other."
