WhaleShares Short Story Contest Series | Week #5

When I was 9 I was left home with my brothers and sisters, the youngest of which was about 1 yr old, and still in diapers.

It was my responsibility as an older brother to take care of him. It wasn't long before he pissed all the way through his diaper, and instead of doing the responsible thing- changing and putting a new diaper on- I took that soggy thing, chucked it and let him run wild.

When my moms boyfriend got home, he saw a puddle and started yelling "who the fuck pissed all over the goddamn floor?"

This time, as the older brother, I didn't hesitate to protect him. He shouldn't get hurt for something that was my fault, so I quickly blamed it on the cat.

You know how you rub a cat or dogs nose in the mess they made, to teach it a lesson not to do it again?

He did that. And then drop kicked the thing. His steel toe boot splattered it's guts and blood across the room- all over us.

I nodded to him- and walked my bro to the bathroom to clean up.

When I joined the rest of my family at the campfire (to dispose of the remains) I thought about telling the truth.

I never did.

Wow thanks! You're the best.

Wow. Greatly written piece, really brought the imagery in my head!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Maybe you write something for the contest too :)

I would have a) never forgiven the boyfriend for that ever and probably plotted a potentially fatal revenge and b) wouldn't have told him either if he was going to react like that D:

Nice impact in a small space :)

haha plotting potentially fatal revenge at 9 doesn't seem like a good start.
Thanks for your input @ryivhnn. How have you been?

Well "potentially" because I wouldn't mean it to be fatal, it just may end up that way because at that age I did probably a lot less thinking ahead to consequences than I should have XD

Been all right, being preoccupied by different steemy projects to you ;D how are you going?

I see xD
I've been pretty busy and bored all at once haha.
The stress about paying bills is killing me
