Could they remember?
Could they remember Gridlebone's panic as she hid them in the cabin of Growltiger's ship?
Could they remember my moment of weakness?
Could they remember how the Siamese attack at sea came around?
Could they remember the reek of Death?
The cold stiff body of Gridlebone?
The red stain that covered her throat?
Her ruffled fur?
The haunting melody that was their last duet?
Growltiger's arms wrapped around her as they bled their love for each other?
I tell them they can't, I try to convince myself they can't.
If the blood stained fur haunts my dreams, how can I let the horror haunt them?
I swore to avenge my parents.
I swore to avenge Gridlebone and Growltiger.
I am Bombalurina.
