i-am-watsoned:

‘My name was Harriet Hood. When I was six, my mother killed my grandmother, and was sent to an institution. I had no family, years after, just a dog I fed some days when he came to the back door. He didn’t mind that he didn’t know what to call me; he just smiled and showed his teeth.

‘My body was found on the kitchen floor. I was holding the knife, and the dog was dead, too.’
