What the Hospice Cat Knows
horror◐ Mature5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
I keep the door shut like she said. But around 4 a.m. I hear Mr. Avery calling for help, weak and scared. The cat is still outside. If I open the door to help him, I break Diane's only rule. If I don't, I'm leaving a dying man alone.
I keep the door shut and cover my ears. The calling stops after a while. At dawn I open the door. Mr. Avery is fine, sleeping peacefully, color back in his face. But the cat is gone, and so is Diane. They find her car still in the lot and her shoes by the exit. The rule got paid. Just not by who I expected.
