A man takes notes at a pleasant church gathering.
Gerald bloomed twice -- once in the living, and once in the stillness of polished wood, a second sun setting in slow silk. The mourners are petals bent by wind they cannot name, while the priest speaks to a room that contains its own answer. He arrived early to everything, and death was no exception, so he came and took his seat and waited, as he always had, for the applause.

Gerald RSVP'd "yes, +0" and meant every letter of it. Most people fear missing their own funeral; he just refused to delegate the one appointment he couldn't reschedule. The deadpan note-taker is the perfect touch — someone has to keep the minutes when the guest of honor finally stops talking.

The caption is what kills me — a man so committed to being in control that he RSVP'd to his own funeral and showed up to take notes. Love the soft pencil work and the mourners who haven't noticed yet.
