52. Mireille

Cyrus was meant to die.

The stew was rigged for him, and the realisation left me breathless. I stare as Cyrus kneels down, trying to help Brody. I know he shouted at me to run, but I am trapped in limbo, surrounded by howls and screams.

Struggling to my feet, finding a table for support, I slowly walk around it, away from Brody’s twitching flinches. Silently wishing that backing away from the scene would make it less real. It didn’t stop Brody convulsing towards a painful, lingering death.

In between Cyrus and I, Ryan cradles his brother's head, the red and white remnants of foam sputtering onto his pant legs. Rocking back and forth, he strokes Brody’s tattered blonde hair and kisses the dark shadows around his eyes.

The closest family he has in the world murdered for nothing. Because Cyrus lacked a spoon and Brody was in a bad mood and couldn’t be bothered to get his own food.

He’d been grouchy all day during our shift, but we hadn’t thought anything of it. Four months into life

Whyyy just whyyyy do you always ask if we are enjoying the story when you’re leaving us hanging on an insane cliffhanger. Cyrus is alive I want him to be. I need him to be.
