Description
Inspired by @CrystalScherer 's The Virus Within. I expected the world to fall apart way after I grew up and died of old age but it seems the world had other plans. Preview*** "Oh God. Mom?.... Mom stop it! Please! You're killing him!" I screeched. I felt like a helpless little girl again. In that moment I was unable to comprehend the danger I was putting myself in by trying to reason with a person who was already dead. This was my mother. She'd never hurt me. Ever. I stood there watching her devour my father. I was traumatized, terrified and confused. I backed up, bumping into the kitchen table as my mom, no that thing my mother had become, turned to the sound of my voice. It's eyes the color of the blood on its face. I was in shock. How could this happen?! I whimpered. She lunged at me snarling. Gripping her skinny shoulders in my hands I struggled to keep her gnashing teeth away from me. Her nails scratched across my cheek drawing blood. I pushed as hard as I could, quickly grabbing the carving knife and with a hard thrust I pushed it into her skull as she again prepared to attack. Her body fell, with a soft thud, into a heap on the floor. What have I done....
