Awakened to only Disappear

I opened my eyes to the tree’s auburn shadow dancing on the west wall. Crusts in my eyes scratched my cornea like an eagle jabbing its talons into prey. I try to swallow but my throat is dry; my spit feels like a lump of peanut butter. I scrunch my toes between the mattress and the footboard in an attempt to warm them. A piercing screech comes from the other side of the wall; it's probably Dad trying to move something heavy outside. "Just be quiet!" I whisper to myself.

Her wormlike intestines were scattered in the blood along with dark black speckles. Every time she took a breath I could see the inside of her move.

I had to stay strong not only for her, but for myself. If I cried too loud she might dislike it and maybe bite me; I didn't want to scare her.

My sister Carly came out into the garage and asked me if she could pet Ramey.

I snapped at her saying, "No! Just! Get! Out! Don’t look at her!”

Then I heard a car pull up by the house. It was Grandpa.
