Say That Again (2015)
“I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this sure wasn’t it.
The old woman who captured me took me to a building on the edge of town. On the outside it was plain, made of cement block. Not a home, or a barn, but some other place with a distinct and perhaps sinister purpose. I sensed it far down in my gut, like a little worm there nibbling at my insides.
She hauled me from the cage and tucked me against her gaunt ribs. The moment she shoved the rear door of the van shut, they started — a chorus o...f dogs barking with a mixture of fear and excitement. I quivered in response, imagining that inside was a pack of them, ready to devour me whole. I squirmed in her grasp, but she clutched me tighter, her hold surprisingly strong, and shuffled toward the front door.
As soon as she opened it, the stinging odor of urine hit me full force. And not just that of dogs, but cats, too, which repulsed me even more. I had always handled my business neatly, eliminating in the farthest corner of our pen and making certain not to tread in it later.MoreLess
