Power surged through me like a live wire. My eyes flew open. I stared up into Patricia’s face; her hand was tight around my throat. Her tired, old face fell as our eyes locked.
“That’s impossible! You were dead. I k*lled you, you had no heartbeat!” She spat at me, her eyes wide with fear.
I stared up at the sky as the moon drifted above us. A cold, quiet calm overcame my mind. Everything in my body stilled; all anger, hatred, and disgust left me.
Howls pierced through the air. Ethereal, unearthly cries. All the hair covering my n*ked body stood on end.
“Why won’t you die?” She squeezed my throat harder.
“You’re trying to k*ll everything I love.”
“You’re all monsters! Beasts, vile things!” She spewed hatred, but I pushed it out of my thoughts. Rhett. Lily. Oliver. Rhonda. Amy. Lucinda
