Keep Well

China

I knew someone innocent would die. He wanted to clear his name and trampled all over anyone who stood in his way.
I wanted to ask him "why". But I never did. He would've denied it. The images have been doctored. It wasn't him on the video. "Can't you see?" And no, I couldn't. It was him, stealing from his best friend.
When he was arrested, I said "keep well". He just looked at me. And I knew I'd have to run for my life.
Perhaps I should go to that place in the painting and hide in plain sight.
