Summary
Carl doesn’t respond when his dad calls his name. Maybe he doesn’t hear? Maybe he does?

Is this rebirth?

Summary
Absently his hand moves up to his lips, unconscious of his own body. Like some invisible force is guiding his arm. And then there, between his lips, is the cigarette. Like a Phantom breath of death. Perhaps the strangest aspect of carls new, unalive, life. One he doesn’t want to ponder, but does anyway, rolling the cylindrical tube of paper over and over in his head, and coming up blank each time. It’s just there, he decides. Much like him, a presence alive with no way to be but is anyway.
Is anyway.

Summary
He’d take it all back if he could. He’d never have went into those woods, never have gotten himself bit. If he had just stayed home that day he would be alive. Alive. Not just a survivor.
