When Silence Speaks of Regret

"My father is the First Warrior of the Moonflash pack. He often takes me to all kinds of banquets, and I always look forward to them.Today, he brings me to a banquet hosted by Judy. I take a bite of raw meat on my plate and immediately spit it out.I once ate raw meat when I was younger, and my stomach hurt for several days. I nearly died. The healer later told me that I'm allergic to the protein in raw meat, and that experience left a lasting impression on me.Judy looks hurt when she sees my reaction. "I went to the forest myself to catch that reindeer," she says. "I killed it just this morning. I didn't cook it so that I wouldn't ruin its freshness. I didn't expect Ray would turn her nose up at it."Dad is angry about how rude I am, so he chases me out of the banquet and locks me up in a cramped lounge. The lounge is hot and stuffy, and I soon start finding it hard to breathe.A sharp pain twists in my stomach like a knife. I want to find Dad, but no matter how much I bang on the door, he refuses to open it.Through the window, I can see Dad and Judy standing in the center of the hall. They're conversing happily, but no one even looks in my direction.I'm suffocating, so I lie on the floor. I want to shout for Dad, but I can't make a sound no matter how hard I try. Then, I realize that I'm standing up and can walk through the door. But why is my body still lying on the floor?That's when it hits me. I'm dead."
