Alpha Went Crazy After I Died
Suddenly, the pain in my abdomen intensified, and a metallic sweetness rose in my throat.
I covered my mouth with my hand. When I pulled it away, the bright red blood on it stung my eyes.
Echo abruptly stopped eating and turned to leap at my feet, meowing loudly.
I grabbed a tissue to wipe away the blood, crumpled it, and tossed it into the trash can.
Crouching down, I gave her head a good scratch and whispered, "I'm fine."
She meowed twice more, abandoning her food to paw at me.
I picked her up, and she quieted down, nuzzling against me.
