It was World War III.

My eyes were a crimson filter. My nose and eyes ached and tears blurred my vision. I’ve been hit. Oh, my God, I’ve been hit.

I looked at my hands and they were scarlet. The taste of copper filled my lips. Someone came to me. “Cathy, you OK? Jesus Christ, Cathy, what happened?”

That’s what I’d like to know.

I was still delirious when I heard Mark pleading outside.

“Please, no more, please, please!” Mark was crying from the ground. “Please—”

Thwack! Thwack! Crunch!

I was still reeling, Mark’s punch had just glanced across my nose because Johnny had pulled me aside. I didn’t get a chance to know what was happening until now: Mark on the ground, and Johnny...killing him!

Oh, God.

A trail of splattered blood marked a path from the door, down the steps, and onto the white lawn. Johnny straddled the body on the ground and just let rip.

He said nothing. Only rage poured from him.

His fists were a whirlwind of fury!

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

I staggered out over the steps, my hand to my own bleeding nose, almost slipping.

Mark looked like a pulp of dead mass.

Johnny’s left hand held Mark down by the neck while red rage flew from his right fist. Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

“Johnny, stop it! STOP IT! YOU’LL KILL HIM!” I yelled.

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

I jumped on Johnny and yanked him from Mark, his final fist hitting thin air.

I almost retched when I looked back and saw the body. “Oh, God. Oh, my God! Oh, GOD!”

Mark looked dead.
