Stellos 第一章:父亲们是真正的英雄(10)

They took coffin outside of the cathedral. Uncle Barlow was one of the bearers as well as other associa
tes of my father. The clouds were gray and everything was a shade darker. It was like someone turned down the lights just for today. The priest came by and gave him his final rights. Uncle Barlow stood next to me. As they lowered the coffin I could feel something. It was as if they were lowering the coffin onto my own soul. All that pressure began constrict me more and more until I felt something roll down my cheek.
