Ending


Hailing from Ottawa, Canada, Andrea has been published in the anthology, "Gifts of the Heartland," and in Clevermag.com, Ascent and Jones Av.


Gasp-
falsetto wail
Thundering squelching
Screeching fills my head
Snapshot
Eyes wild, wide, focus on everything-nothing-
Try to see any
thing but red
Pinned
Flattened, crushed
Unrecognizable skin unfolded
Peeled back exposing the last
Beat
Stiff-
Clinging, gripping, to the air
One last second
Swallowing pain
Carved into eternal memory
For when
It is done
