Abstract
Every year was the same. A check for $7.50 together with black-and-white photos of dead people I didn't know. And as I cracked open the glitter-coated card they would flutter away, helicoptering off in an attempt to escape the glad tidings of "Happy Birthday Granddaughter" emblazoned across the cover of their celebratory sarcophagus.
