Of Loss and Consequence

His mother died. It was kind of tragic because she was always caring and forgiving toward her son. He -many a time- stole money from her to buy drugs; he never paid her back, and, she knew; he lied to her as he saw fit. But without her, he is scared and can't cope with the reality of knowing she's gone. Now he's left alone with nothing to give and nothing to lose. A failure. A leech.
