A Goodbye (TiredSloth)

  • Prepared to kill fluffy when family say they wanted to prolong his suffering for entire month
  • Don’t want him to go through that.
  • Tell him he was a good boy and that he could go ahead, it wasn’t his fault, things like that while petting him
  • A ritual between us
  • Something weird though
  • Lips turn upwards a few times, even though he’s been insensate all the time before that and even snapped a few times
  • Pet him one last time, go outside some thirty seconds to talk to someone and come back
  • His jaw is slack, his teeth bared
  • There is no movement
  • None whatsoever
  • Call brother
  • He anticipates it, but wants to hear the news anyway
  • Hesitate, then fall back into what I know
  • Mechanically say to him, "Time of death, 08:25 p.m. "
  • Brother cries
  • I don’t, can’t show that to others
  • Feel like shit though, but that’s life for you
  • F
