“A friend’s house?” he questions. Which friend?”

I’m surprised that he even wants to know this small detail. Why should it matter which friend!

even without my interference, it would have taken a long

time, but it still would have stopped.

So then why did I rush to help her?

Every time I close my eyes, I hear her screams; I’ve

listened to cries before, but none has ever managed to flip

my insides as hers did.

“Fuck” i slam the knife down onto the wooden table

and mumble some more as I get up.
