(I don't want it to end this way.)
I'm Only Seventeen
by LisaMay
I am powerless in his arms. He’s holding me against my will, touching my face. His hands are all over me. There is a strange look in his eyes. I don’t trust Greg this time; something is different. He looks desperate and I’m scared.
I’m only seventeen. I don’t want it to end this way. He’s gripping me… my strength is ebbing….
The vet removes the needle. Greg is sobbing.

Author's Note:
For anyone who has had to have a beloved family pet put down, such as my darling Tillypuss recently, we share a common grief. No cat of mine has ever made it past 17 years old. In this grim little story, which alludes to violence against women, the poor cat has a premonition of death. In a situation of euthanasia the animal is usually so unwell it will just slip away from its pain without too much knowledge. I hope.
