Kylie struggled to focus through the agony. Pain pulsed through her legs and backside, and tears leaked down her face. The old woman was gone, and she watched as Mary Lou finished placing lid speculums in Sara's eyes across the room. She motioned to Skeeter for a scalpel and shifted until she blocked Kylie’s view of her sister. Mary Lou motioned again and, after a few seconds, grabbed the forceps he held out. She shifted again, and bile rose up Kylie's throat as she watched her sister's eyeball get pulled out from the socket. Kylie's stomach heaved, and vomit splashed across the floor.

“God damn it,” Mary Lou barked. “You need to clean up that mess.” She leaned forward and pulled the optic nerve taut. “But first, hand me those scissors.” She snipped the eyeball free and dropped it into a container filled with a clear liquid solution. She screwed on a lid and placed it into a cooler.

“One down,” she called out with an exaggerated sigh. She moved to the other eye and soon had it clamped securely in the forceps.

The door banged open, and Mary Lou jerked in surprise, ripping through the optic nerve and launching the eyeball across the room to land with a splat into Kylie’s vomit. Jimbo pushed in the cart.

“God damn it, Jimbo,” she barked, spinning around to search for the eyeball.

“What?’ he asked, his eyes growing wide when his gaze fell on Kylie. “What is going on?”

Skeeter knelt and scooped up the vomit covered orb. “Found it.”

Jimbo stomped toward Kylie, his hand shooting out when he stepped closer to Skeeter. He jammed his palm into the man’s chest and shoved. “What did you do?” he howled.

Skeeter stumbled back, waving his arms to try and regain his balance. The eyeball squirted from his fingers and bounced on the ground once again. He grabbed the rope but slipped in Kylie’s vomit and fell backwards. The sudden jerk pulled the knot free, and the rope went slack.

Kylie plummeted down to the floor and landed on Skeeter with a grunt. She felt something smoosh beneath her elbow, and rage swelled up in her chest. She started pummeling him with her fists, slamming them into his chest, stomach, and crotch. He hollered out in pain. Jimbo reached down to scoop her up and pulled her tight against his chest. Skeeter laid in a daze, clutching his groin and moaning softly.

A loud banging sounded from the tables. “God damn it!” Mary Lou screamed. “Get over here; she’s coding.”

Jimbo opened the stall and laid Kylie down on the hay. She curled into a ball and began to sob. Jimbo let out a shuddered breath and reached towards her.

“I need help, NOW!” Mary Lou screamed.

He jerked back and closed the stall door with a huff. The lock clicked in place. Kylie desperately wanted to cover her ears and block out the sound of Sara dying, but she was too afraid to move. Too afraid they’d discover she now held Skeeter’s knife.
