The sun, bright, affronting, peaks.
Kaia twists, flings a knife at sudden movement-
the wall groans, a rat, squirming, screaming
not yet dead.

"Good, now finish it, Kaia."
Her throat closes, "I-"
"Now."

Hands shaking, she approaches and
the rat can sense her, it struggles harder
"Mother, it wants to live," she says.

"They all do. Finish it."
She wraps her hand around the hilt, pulls
thud, the rat falls to the ground
makes sounds of agony.

Pauses, looks up across the room at
Mina Bellisario, dark circles under her eyes,
Love died a week ago.

"You hesitate, you die."
Kaia bends down, lets her hair fall over
her eyes to hide the tears forming, hands shake
she holds the knife above the rat and
watches its chest rise and fall, so scared it
doesn't make a sound.

"Kaia, are you a rat or are you a Bellisario?"
Her mother is tired of waiting.

She pushes the knife through its neck.
