Tips came pouring in. At last count, there were 616 various claims of sightings, but there have been no arrests. I can't imagine Andrei is resting peacefully while his murderer is still out there somewhere. I still often have trouble sleeping when this thought pops into my head late at night.
I was looking forward to the anniversary. I tried to gather his closest friends so we could all have a drink and remember Andrei, but it never happened. Many were no longer around. Some didn't have the time. A few didn't even remember Andrei at all! It had only been a year! How ephemeral we are; it is so disheartening.
The worst part of the ordeal was Victor. He was even closer to Andrei than I was. They were practically inseparable; certainly indistinguishable. People always had trouble telling them apart. I was certain he'd reminisce with me, but he only replied with disdain. He went on and on about how he had replaced Andrei and that I needed to move on too. I still can't understand it. I was just talking about a few hours of time to remember someone who was important to us. I exploded and we got into an argument. I said lots of things I shouldn't have. We parted with me mentioning that one day he was going to be impaled too, and a year later there would be no one who cared at all. Not a high point for me...
I'm not sure why I am writing this here, but I needed to get it out somehow. RIP Andrei. Fuck you Victor.
Edit: I've gotten a few PMs requesting it, so here is the most recent picture I have of Andrei

I also managed to dig up one from when we were kids.

I honestly thought more people had read Sonuvbob's profile. This post might make a little bit more sense if you do.
