Zinfandel brushed her daughter’s hair with so much care, it made one wonder what would happen if a single strand of hair fell out. Cabernet’s hair was soft as silk, like the pajamas she wore. When her mother left her room, Cabernet changed into her swimming outfit at nine in the evening and jumped in the pool. “Yes, she’s here again.” ... “I am unsure; you should know, considering you are responsible for her.” … “You may retrieve her tomorrow morning.” “NO, SHE MAY NOT.” ... “Your mother would like to speak with you.” “YOU HAVE MERLOT, ISN’T THAT ENOUGH? And besides mother, Merlot loves you better. You should just keep him instead.” The young girl stood beside the body of the dog muttation. There was no whimpering from the animal, it was not breathing shallowly, the eyes were open, but there was no sign of life. It was dead. There was no victory otherwise. Just like the Hunger Games. |
