Dead Boy.

Dead Boy.

Dead dog lies down.
Man stares over it.
What brought this on?
To kill his best friend!
Man looks away.
Looks back.
The dog is gone.
Confusion takes over.
Sharp pain hits his stomach.
Looks down.
Blood falls from the wound.
Turns and looks.
Young boy stands.
Gun in hand.
Wound on arm.
There was never a dog.
But a mistreated child.
Police come.
Man dies.
Boy is alone.
Stands at mother's grave.
Pulls the trigger.
No blood falls.
Boy vanishes into the light.
