Henry's Headache (piece 15)

While sitting at a single person table in a corner of Scott’s, I suddenly hear a whispering voice: “Henry?” I look around. Nobody. –Oh my, – I think, – Not again. – “Henry,” the voice whispers again, “you must go.” “Why?” I ask, “What do you want?” Scott comes to me. “Pardon?” he asks. “Nothing,” I...

Henry's Headache (piece 14)

On my way back home, I walk slowly. I enjoy the view of the sun setting behind the tall buildings in the streets of downtown. I head to Scott’s to have a beer. Now, it’s late enough to have alcoholic drinks. As I reach the bar, Scott comes to me immediately. “Oh, there you are, my friend,” he says,... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry's Headache (piece 13)

I remember the day I gave that toy car to Toby. It was a pink Cadillac, and Toby got so excited that he got tears in his eyes. “Even my dad wouldn’t give me that,” he said. Toby’s dad left when Jen was still pregnant. I still dislike that son-of-a-bitch for leaving her during her pregnancy. On the... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry's Headache (piece 12)

Half the way towards Jen’s place, I drop by a florist’s buying her a bunch of roses. After all, she’s still suffering from Toby’s death. Especially today, the date of his birthday. As I reach her front door, I ring the doorbell. “Coming,” she calls back. As she opens the door, I can see she’s been... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry's Headache (piece 11)

Cops? What the hell? “What’s going on?” Jen asked. She seemed to be about to start crying hysterically. Blondie turned to me and asked: “Are you her husband?” Well, actually I’d been in love with Jen for many years. But I wasn’t married to her. “No, I’m just a friend,” I answered, “why?” The guy...

Henry's Headache (piece 10)

Two hours passed by, and Toby was still not home. “Maybe I should go out and see if I can find him,” I suggested. Jennifer, who had gone nervous about Toby’s lateness, nodded her head and said: “Might be a good idea.” I went to the entrance room to pick my shoes. Just as I was ready to leave the...

Henry's Headache (piece 9)

“I don’t understand,” Jennifer said, “Why didn’t he come home yet? He comes home just after school. He always does.” I tried to calm her down. “Maybe he just stopped to talk to some of his classmates,” I suggested. She seemed to think about my suggested reason for Toby’s lateness. “You’re probably... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry's Headache (piece 8)

On my way back home, I go to one of the bars nearby. It’s on the other side of the street. As I’m sitting here, alone by a table, I’ve bought myself a cup of coffee. It’s still too early for alcoholic drinks. After all, it’s only at noon. While sitting here, drinking coffee, and reading the Local... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry's Headache (piece 7)

“Excuse me?” a woman asks. I look around. There she is, standing at the grave next to Toby’s, apparently cleaning it up after the fallen leaves. “Sorry,” I answer, “didn’t mean to scare you. I was just talking to myself.” “So, Toby it is, right?” she asks. “No, Toby is resting here,” I answer... Sign in to see full entry.

Henry's Headache (piece 6)

Now, twenty years later, I’m standing here in front of the very same tombstone, at the very same grave. ‘Toby Lichts,’ it says, ‘born Oct. 10 th, 2012. Dead June 4 th, 2019.’ I know it may seem weird. But this was also what the tombstone said when I was a child myself. But Toby used to be the son of... Sign in to see full entry.
