It was hard to drag herself there. Sighing, she got in the car. At least she had a ride.
Dee hated funerals. Sure, no one really likes them, but for Dee, they're especially hard. Having lost most of her family to either illness, old age, or alcoholism, she'd had more than her share of them in her thirty-odd years.
“I hate funerals. I hate phony people. And I hate having to go to a funeral and face phony people!” She told her best friend Andrea.
“I know that. That's why it meant so much that you came.”
“I wouldn't miss burying that bastard.”
This is Saturday Centus, and once again I'm trying to contain my verbosity to 100 words past the prompt. If you'd like more info, please visit Ms. Jenny Matlock at “off on my tangent”

Well, at least we know he wasn't a PHONY bastard!

LOL, what a great twist at the end. Loved it. BTW, your link didn't work for me at Jenny's.
Brian is right. We need to know more about him! And no one likes funerals. I was honored by my Aunt when she attended my Mom's, cause I know how hard it was for her to be there.
Brilliant!
Yes, this could go in so many different directions.
Many of us can relate to the view on funerals.....
That last sentence was FABULOUS!!!
harsh honesty! thank god for friends we can say such things to!!!
There are some things in life just too good to miss! :) Your story raised so many questions in my mind...so many things I want to know! I enjoyed.
I just posted my tardy contribution for the week. Hope you will stop by and read!
