the night had managed to become the second worst of Benny’s entire life. every part of his body ached from the transformation he hadn’t anticipated and the rest of the night’s events. his mind spun and all he could see when he closed his eyes was blood. he had no idea how long he’d been wondering around the woods, only that it had been long enough for him to steal a blanket to cover his now bruised and bloodied body and for him to find his way back to the tent. he sat inside for a long time, curled into a ball as he sobbed until there were no tears left in his body. eventually he had exhausted himself so much that he fell asleep. some time later he woke to a sound and immediately sat up to see his sister. or at least she had once been his sister. now he wasn’t sure he recognized her at all. without speaking he looked away from her and curled back up into his ball.
