I had accidently kicked the
pail of water. In the
dark, it was difficult to
see anything. Who would put
a pail of water in
the middle of the floor?
After that escapade, I decided
to kick the pail because
I hadn't made enough noise
already. I kicked myself because
I hadn't caused enough pain
already. I crawl to the
door of the morgue and
see a looming figure above

me holding a baseball bat
raised above its head.

I brace myself for
the knock, but instead,
I received a hand,
helping me up.
