She walks into the house
But something feels cold
Colder
Something's off
There's a smell in the air
Faint copper?
And why is it so quiet?
"We're home."
There's no response
No movement
She steadies
Her heart drops
She walks towards the bedroom
She tries to call my name
There's no answer
She opens the door
There lie a bloody mess
A shell that I used to call home
She screams, she's unsure what to do
Her hands shaking, she tries to stop the bleeding
But it's already over
It's too late
I watch the scene unfold from my invisible form
She's asking why over and over again
The husband outside calls 911 after he ran in from the scream
He's unsure what to do, he tries to tell the operator what has happened
Inside she's holding me
Shes telling me to hold on
I did hold on
I held on for so long
I couldn't anymore
I just couldn't
I'm sorry.
