When I was finished with my kill, I realised Brodie was close by and watching me. I wiped my mouth. There was a wave of shame washing over me, and I felt like I was going to drown in it. I couldn’t believe I had done something so vicious and evil. “I knew I would end up killing Bambi.”
“Don’t be daft. Bambi, the movie was a white-tail deer, that’s a roe.” He was actually laughing at me. Meanwhile, I felt like sobbing. I knew he didn’t understand, but it was a big thing for me. A fear that had consumed me, first with my parents and then myself.
“Great, I killed Bambi’s mother instead.” I moved back away from the deer and propped myself up against a tree. Looking back at the carcass and the regret only building further. Such a beautiful creature taken out by a monster lurking in the woods
