Death. It always seems so close. My father’s work on the infamous Virus was a curse on me and my family. The rancid smell of sterile death always followed us and anyone close to us. First it was mom. She was always sick and none of the doctors could tell her what was wrong. Slowly being poisoned by just being around work equipment from father’s office. Than it was Mr. Butler, the sweet old man. My dad decided to use my dog for an experimental form of virus, it killed him almost immediately. My best friend in the whole wide world was the last victim to my father’s curse. Kenneth died hardly being able to control his own body let alone his mind. He couldn’t speak and had to have bandages over his eyes because the light hurt him. Always screaming and thrashing like a beast in a trap; he wasn’t my Kenneth any more. My father killed everyone I loved including himself. Now it was my turn.

Death.

        Nightmares of black eyes and yellow teeth haunt my mind. People scream for help and claw at the inside of my skull with ragged nails.
