My Link - A Story

This May Be The End.

Ian got up from the couch and locked himself in the office after that. I didn't know what to do so I did what I do best which was lay on the couch watching TV. I fell asleep watching some nature documentary about pandas, Ian came back in the living room and carried me to bed. I didn't think much of it, but once I was alone I started having a night mare. Dreams of darkness and terrible things. I woke up in tears screaming for the darkness to go away. I looked around for Ian but he wasn't with me. I was alone. I know it was just sleeping, but I wanted him with me. I walked into the office and found him working on editing a video. "Ian?" He turned around, seeing me standing in the doorway with my tear stained cheeks. "Will you come to bed?" He looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry, but I have to finish this tonight. Come here." He opened his arms for me to come sit with him. I sat on his lap and snuggled in to his shoulder. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the mouse clicking away.

I woke up the next morning to Anthony aww-ing in the doorway. I quickly got off of Ian. "What are you doing here?" Anthony laughed. "We have more filming to do today, so we have to get going." With that Ian quickly got ready to go. Kissing me on the cheek, "See you tonight okay?" I agreed. I was sad knowing he would be working until late tonight. I guess it was okay, but he stayed up editing falling asleep in the middle of it. I know you could say that I could help him, but he refused my help wanting it to be a certain way. I didn't question when Ian wore himself thin. That was just who he was. I got up from the office chair and started cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and washing all the dishes. When I was done folding my last load of laundry, I sat on the couch bored to almost tears. It was two in the afternoon, I looked at Daisy. "So what are we going to do now girl?" She got up and walked out of the room. I guess she wasn't in a playful mood, but I was wrong.  She brought back her leash. I knew what she wanted. To go to the park. I put on some nice sweat pants with one of Ian's loose fitting t-shirts, and grabbed my tennis shoes. Once I was dressed, we got in the car and went to the park. I guess it was good to be out of the house now. I played fetch with a ball until Daisy was too tired to play anymore, which for her was two hours. I threw the ball so much I thought my arm was going to fall off. I laughed to myself as we laid in the grass just enjoying the mid-winter sun. It started to get dark so we made our way to the car. Once I put it in gear, I just felt like driving and it didn't bother my canine friend one bit. She loved car rides.

I was about to turn off of the main road towards our neighborhood when I looked to my right and saw the end. I braced myself as an oncoming driver hit my door at full speed, flipping over my small car. I felt all the glass shatter around me as the vehicle stopped and everything went silent. Daisy had somehow managed to crawl closer to me, almost as if she was giving me a hug. I looked around best I could with my now blurring vision only to see blood all over my interior. I felt of my canine, but she was fine. I didn't want to think the worst, but I knew what was going on. I was bleeding badly. I started to feel sleepy as my eyes drooped. Daisy kept nudging me to keep me awake, but it was no use. My eyelids dropped closed as I thought about it. This is probably the end.
