THE END - part three. Content Warning.
I walked for a quite while. It was taking longer than I thought it would. The blister on my foot had popped, and was getting bigger with every step, when fifty feet in front of me, Barkley jumped out of a grove of aspen trees. He yapped at me and ran in a tight circle, like he was impatient and wanted me to hurry up. I picked up the pace of my hobbling, but before I got to him, he yapped one more time, and dashed back into the brush under the aspens. When I got to where he had disappeared, I saw neon lights sparkling through the tall, skinny trees, and I knew it was the convenience store. Relief. I was lost. Now I’m found.

THE END - part one. Content Warning.
That was it then. Betsy was gone. Her body was still warm. I tested the heat of her flesh and my finger made a dent, the same way it would have a few short minutes ago. She didn’t move, though, and she couldn’t talk anymore, but I couldn’t be sure that the voice she listened to inside her head wasn’t still talking to her.
