All things considered, her little sister’s funeral is a pretty boring affair.
Helen Zhang (the good one, the smart one, the boring one, according to
Michelle, may she rest in peace) sits in the front row between her grieving
parents. If Michelle were here, she would be snickering at something
inappropriate, like the accidentally phallic floral arrangement draped over
her closed casket. If Michelle were here, she’d be restlessly tapping her
foot, anxious to sneak a cigarette in the bathroom, already plotting her
escape to an afterparty. If Michelle were here—it wouldn’t be so fucking
quiet.
Helen’s mother shakes with silent, rolling sobs and grips her surviving
daughter’s right hand so hard, Helen lost feeling in it during the pastor’s
welcome remarks. Her father stares at the wooden easel holding Michelle’s
sophomore-year photo. His gaze drifts first to the bland church window
blinds (not for the first time, Helen wishes they were Catholic, for the
vibes), then to the shoes of the pastor. Dad looks everywhere there isn’t
someone with a face to look back at him.
Helen used up all her own tears in the first forty-eight hours, shaking and
crying alone in her room like some dumb wounded animal until her eyes
were puffy slits, pondering existential questions too big to be captured in
pathetic words. The well has dried up, and all that’s left is a growing pit of
resentment that threatens to swallow her whole. She hates the pastor’s trite
remarks trying to imbue Michelle’s short life with meaning, hates Mom’s
tears, hates Dad’s lack of them, maybe she even hates herself, but why?
