my mood

Andre and I had a rather disturbing conversation tonight.

He had gone over to his friend's house two days ago to try to sell him a car. His friend's brother was there and chatted with Andre for a bit since they were good friends.

Yesterday, Andre gets the call that the brother died in a head-on collision. The brother survived the crash, but died at the hospital.

Andre then asked me how I would know if something happened to him. Truth is, I wouldn't. My Portuguese is not good enough to communicate with his family. I wouldn't be able to understand them if they were trying to tell me that he was the one in the car accident.

And that's scary. Very scary.
