Short Story

2018
The Oxen break through the door
Everyone panics.
Chinese whispers round the circle.
Exit stage left.
Teeth bared.
A punch to the stomach
And crumple to the ground.
My reward is a shot in the shoulder.
Poisoned.
I use my fists.
They don't exist.
They don't resist.
My body was never found.
Some think I'm dead.
But I'm still out here.
Waiting for what's next.
