What the Hospice Cat Knows
horror◐ Mature5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
Marrow twists out of my arms and hits the floor running. He goes straight back to Room 14 and lies down across the doorway, like nothing happened. But now there are two of him. A second gray cat sits at the other end of the hall, watching me.
I look from one cat to the other. The second one stands, stretches, and walks toward the room next to mine, where old Mrs. Okafor sleeps. I understand now. Marrow marks them, but there's a whole pack, and they're spreading down the hall. I run for the phone to wake the other nurses before every door is claimed.
