She's gone.. my dear pet is gone.. nosleep

I sat on the couch, weeping and not feeling the best.

My pet died today.

Do you know how it feels? To lose the only being you talk to most of the time?

Do you know how it feels? To see her eat the pet food that you bought during a certain rainy day?

Do you know how it feels? To see her eager whenever you got home that you have no choice but give that smile even after a difficult day?

It hurts man, it really does.

I looked at my dear pet, who is no longer breathing. A call to the veterinarian would definitely be late at this point. I wiped my tears with my hands who were holding her earlier.

I can still feel her warmth against my chest. I feel it…

But she is no longer alive.

I heard giggling outside.

I looked out my window, my tears still at the edge of my eyes. I saw my neighbor’s kid – Lira playing with her pet dog.

A fang of jealousy hit me.

Sure, my pet was absolutely the best I had…

But I’m alone, and I need another companion.

I stood up and carried my no longer alive pet, towards my bedroom. I will have to deal with her burial later on… Painful but I have to do it man… I have to…

She laid peacefully on the bed, her body small but she sure was heavy. I caressed her one last time and covered her with my blanket. I opened my refrigerator and grabbed a handful of candy, like the ones last time.

I closed my eyes.

The image of little Lira chained inside my house made me smile.

I needed a new pet. Found a new one.
