The Infected (Book 2): Karen's First Day
Page 20
Karen rounded the corner into the dinning room where the door was located. Her heart stopped on a dime. Penny stood on the other side of the glass. Blood stained all of her clothes. A hunk of metal jutted from her abdomen. Both of her hands and her forehead rested against the window. When she saw her child standing in her dining room she launched herself into the door.
Karen fell to her knees. Her eyes had never fully dried and now they gushed with tears of pain. She screamed and wailed. Her fists pounded the hardwood floor, even though her wrist was throbbing.
Leon and Valerie rushed into the dining room to see what was wrong with Karen. Leon recognized the woman at the door from the photos around the house. His head dropped and he turned away.
Valerie didn’t understand why her Mama wasn’t opening the door for Ganny. “Mama what’s wrong?” She stepped in front of Karen. Her little face filled with empathy. Karen clutched her child and pulled her baby to her chest. The little girl didn’t resist. She just let her Mama pour tears on her shoulder. Both children patted at their Mama with their little hands trying their best to make her feel better.
Karen’s world had crumbled around her. Never in her life had she shed tears of pain like this. Her whole body trembled. The weight of the day had crushed her. She felt done with it all. If it weren’t for the two little beating hearts pressed tightly to her torso she would run outside and let one of those monsters take her.
She had no idea if she would ever see her husband again, her precious little puppy was ripped to shreds right in front of her and heaped on top of all that flaming pile of shit, Karen was now looking into the blackness that was once her mother’s eyes. The thing at the door didn’t want to give her a warm, welcoming hug. It wanted to eat the flesh from her bones. The monster that looked like Penny would happily dive into her grandbaby’s skin and feed upon their tasty little bodies. Karen could feel it.
She was broken.
She could physically feel her heart disappearing into a black hole of pain and despair. Her next thought absolutely decimated her. It was going to be up to her to kill her mother.
The End.
