What the Hospice Cat Knows
horror◐ Mature5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
I carry Marrow into the empty break room and shut him in. For a few minutes the hall feels normal again. Then I hear scratching. Not at the break room door behind me. At the door of Room 14, from the inside.
I open Room 14. Mr. Avery's bed is empty. The scratching is coming from under the sheets, which are moving on their own. I pull them back. There's Marrow, somehow already inside, curled exactly where the man should be. The break room down the hall is silent now. Whatever I locked in there, it was never the cat.
