I was rereading Oblivion, 419th time, when the tragic call came.

"Pyotr... are you watching the news right now?"

"No mother, I'm reading. David Wallace never gets old. He-"

My mother began sobbing. She knew he was the only writer I could tolerate reading, and also the only subject I was willing to talk about. That was why she had called.

"Honey, honey, he's--"

Worried, I turned on the television. On all channels was the same breaking report: the world's premier author, beloved everywhere for his breathtaking fiction and nonfiction works, had been found dead near his home. Suicide.

I was still holding the book. But now it seemed to lack any words.

I was fingering through my 1611 first edition KJV bible in my cooled cellar I use for storage of esoteric texts and cheap wine when I noticed a tear in my Gaylord Archival acid free gloves.

Stepping out of my sanctuary to replace them I heard a commotion outside. The whole village had taken to the streets with candles. Upon inquiry I learned of the terrible news about the fate of our greatest national hero. I quickly scoured my house for a candle to join the 3 day remembrance vigil at our town's chryselephantine David Foster Wallace statue, where we held readings from Infinite Jest and prayed with new sincerity for his everlasting soul.
