TRIGGER WARNING: Graphic description of Gore, Violence


☘☘☘


"Fuck..." I clutched my shoulder tight to get it numb. Another bullet in my body. I'm not used to this anymore.


I'm already getting old. I need to settle down now.


"Ah..."


I turned my gaze to Everest who's on the ground, hugging his stomach like a fetus. His blood is spilling on the grass, watering the ground. He's still alive, hissing silently.


Watching him struggle, squirming like a worm on the ground, I felt a bit of satisfaction. But it's still not enough. It will never be enough.


I want him writhing in pain every second, every minute of his day. I want him crying like a baby, calling out to be saved with death. I want him to burn. I want him to ask for forgiveness.


Even through the pain on my shoulder, I lifted my right hand and aimed my gun at him.


I wouldn't have done this in any other situation. He's my nephew after all. I've seen him grow into a kid before I left home. I developed a sense of fondness for him to some extent. He was my first nephew. And the last time I saw him before I left was when he was just a kid.


He wasn't the most well-behaved boy but he's a kid. How did that kid that I remember crying to my brother because he lost his tooth ended up like this?


"Ah..." Everest continued to cry silently.


What a pity. He turned out like this.


But I knew he's bound to be like this. With how much pressure our family has given him. And I know that pressure really well.


He must be in pain. But that doesn't excuse what he did. Especially to Sonya. My Sonya.


I let my index finger wander to the trigger of the gun. Maybe I should cut his tongue, too, for everything that he said. Well, let me just decide after he's dead. Hindi naman na siya makakawala.
