~*~The Oven~*~

My brother says something from the top bunk.  

What did he say?  

I pop my head out and look up.  

Bam!  

I see red — 

Mom!  

Feel warmth gushing — 

Dad!  

Do I cry?  

I should cry.  

Into the tub I go.  

The water turns my favorite color — 

I’m lying in Barbie water.  

My brother burst my strawberry — 

My birthmark.  

Am I dead now?  

Is that how it works?  

Mama called the doctor 

and the doctor said — 

She’s fine.  

But what had my brother said?  

I ask him.  

I was telling you to watch out.

Hmm. What can I tell you about me? Rather, what do I think you should see? My eyes are green, my skin is fair. I have an abundance of auburn hair. I like to write and I love to think. I adore all animals and the color pink. I have six pets and a husband, too. I'm earning my BA in English at SNHU. I write about whatever comes to mind. And I'll read any book that I can find. I shared quite a bit, but what can I say? Thank you for reading, and have a great day!
