These are the things he left behind:
Questions.
A ghost.
Holes in John Watson's heart.
A thumb, in the fridge, neatly labelled.
A bed he never slept in.
A violin.
Hundred-fifty pounds rent.
'Don't touch, John,' on the thumb and violin.
Milk. More milk. Spare milk.
A request for no funeral.
His laptop, with no guessable password.
A silence.
A skull.
A space.
A world changed for the better?
His blood on the road.
John gives it to the believers.
