The day I met EMMery

The Day i Met EMMery Snow

"Tell me what happened."
"I told you already sir! I killed my parents and ate them!"
"Tell me again Elijah."
"Don't call me that!"
"Calm down - start at the beginning."
The kid is hysterical, crying entire oceans. His pale face red with anger, his curly dark hair plastered to his face with sweat, his emerald eyes watery, and his voice cracking from his insistent yelling.
"Hmmmmmmphhh fine ok, it started a year ago."
"It was when My Mommy died, she told me shed' always be with me, she promised!  I kept her with me, me and my dad did. She was gone but here, she ate with us every morning, she was there she kept her promise."
"what do you mean she was with you?"
"Daddy kept her, he told everyone we burried her on our land, but he kept her, for us." I saw the look in his eye and he seemed to be telling the truth, but to live with a roting corpse for a year is the unimaginable
. "ok continue, kid"
"i told her everything, she was my mom and my best friend. We watched movies, played pretend, she took me on walks even in her wheel chair. I remember the long walks and playing in the creek, and running through the forest under her protection. I remember when she died too.. She was in bed for weeks, me and Daddy got over the sickness that was spreading but she never got better. Just worse and worse, more coughing up blood, more fevers, more throwing up. I remember crying and beging her to stay,  i climbed up onto the bed with her, i felt the wetness in the blood splattered bedsheets."
"Stop!" The kid's head snaps up with wide shocked eyes. My own mind going a million miles an hour, this kid has lived through more than i ever have or ever will. Im staring at his tear streaked face, his emerald eyes holding the curiosity of a child yet how he tells his misery is like a 60 year old man.
"How old are you ?"
"im six sir."
"and what is your full name?"
"Elijah Ethan Matthews sir but dont call me that name, i dont deserve that name anymore."
"what would you like to be called then"
"ummm how about EMMery"
