CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX “You’re in deep, Dad,” Marcus said. He listened as I told him everything. I could barely believe the story myself as I told it. Seems like every adventure I got involved in got crazier and crazier. “You really took poison?” he asked. “It’s every bit as awful as you’d expect,” I said. “You’re crazy,” he said. “That was resourceful AF.” I didn’t exactly like the idea of my son cursing in the afterlife. “I’m dead, Dad,” he said. “Who cares?” I let it go. “How’s death treating you?” I asked. “Not bad,” Marcus said. “CeCe keeps pretty good watch over our family. Demons don’t bother us.” “You tell me if that changes,” I said. “It’s cool.” I had missed Marcus’s chill personality. Before he died, he was becoming more like my dad every day. My father, Charles Broussa
