I used words from the book the Outsiders and the short story “On the Sidewalk Bleeding”.
Stabbed 10 minutes ago
The knife entering just below his rib cage
Drawn across his body violently
Tearing a wide gap in his flesh
He lay on the sidewalk with the March rain
Drilling his body
Blood poured
Had known excruciating pain
When the knife had torn across his body
Sudden relief when the blade was pulled away
Dark pool growing
Spreading slowly
Johnny’s hand
Clutching his switch blade
Was dark to the hilt
My blood turned icy
Fighting the dizziness
I’m gonna be sick
Quietly sick for a moment
Leaned back, closed my eyes
