This Is Not The End: But I Can See It From Here (The Big Red Z Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Gotta put on a brave face for the poor thing, I think. Because, fuck, these things are in there deep, that’s why. No sense being optimistic either, making him think this shit’s going to be alright. Got some work ahead of me. I grunt as Early falls over, flopping in pain. Some time passes, I have no idea how much. All I can say is that it is later, and occasionally, I pet him, feeling myself being carried away by the fear that helping him is going to kill him. Sometimes I watch blearily as the blood pours out of his mouth. Pitiful, pitiful. It takes a couple forevers and I’m nowhere near done. It’s like I’m trapped in some kind of upper room of my mind, the only way out is a mile of torture for him. Death along for the ordeal, and I remember things, dream things, quill after quill, as I pull them out. Even in this cold, black bend of consciousness, fearful and trying not give a shit all at once, my mind wanders, but I keep my face calm. Maybe after we get this shit out of his mouth, he’ll live, or howl and run off, but that’s a big damn maybe.
