Time of Departure 12:29

I vaguely heard it
Almost a whisper
“TOD – twelve twenty nine”

“but wait” I shouted
“I’m still here”
 “DON’T…..pull that sheet up!”

“Stop whispering”
“I can still hear you”.

“You guys are gonna be in so much trouble
When I tell Mom”.

“I’m never playin’ Doctor with you guys again.
