109 Days To Go
DREAM CATCHERS – STRANGE TIMES – Ronnie couldn’t remember the exact month he started having his nightmares only that it was after the killing began and before his Dad had gone to war. Nights blurred into days, days into nights and sleep deprivation had muddled his find. Fuddled his mind. Damn, he couldn’t think straight anymore.
He lay down in his bed, staring at the ceiling, like a corpse with its eyes wide open. He wondered if this was how Clifford Montgomery had looked underneath, he lid at his funeral service. His mother had told him not to go but he had snuck in anyway, just to get a peek – to see what the fuss was about. He overheard the chatterboxes outside the church telling each other with more and more horror how poor Mr. Montgomery had been walking his dog behind the church cemetery, where it had mauled him to death.
They couldn’t believe it, they said, as his dog Spike was ever so docile and would never turn on him like that. The news from Tom Davies, the coroner, was the worst of all. The funeral would be a closed casket service because the raging animal had near torn through Clifford’s neck; his head was hanging under his armpit when they brought him in. What confused Tom Davies, however, was why the doting pet had then clawed into Mr. Montgomery’s chest and ripped out his heart.
The animal was shot immediately.
Ronnie vacantly heard his mother yelling at him to get up this instant or he would be late for school.
CHAPTER TWO
“Come on! Let’s go. Otherwise, you’ll be late for school.” Ronnie’s mother cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled up the stairs. Ronnie jumped down two at a time and rubbed his purple-ringed, doe-like eyes.
He stretched his arms high above his head and yawned deep and long. A hideous, recurring nightmare had prevented him from sleeping. He had lain rigid on his bed the entire night as a sickening, primeval animal had bid and roared after him in his mind, its sharp teeth gnashing and its jowls dripping acidic saliva. He had been too petrified even to close his eyes.
Ronnie’s mum buzzed around her kitchen like an agitated fly. Her face was blotchy and stressed and her brow creased as she multi-tasked, buttering Ronnie’s sandwiches and crumpling a pile of his clothes into the washing machine. She jumped, startled, as she heard the metal snap of the letterbox spring back into place and scurried into her hallway. She fingered through the morning mail. One was from her husband. She gingerly placed it at the front of the clutch of letters. She ripped it open and scanned it quickly. Ronnie saw relief flush her face. His dad was ok.
