The Call

“I just got a call, Carol is dead,” I said gravely, my mind not fully adjusted to the news.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe someone would shoot Carol.” He said as his eyes dropped to the floor, unable to connect with mine. 

(she never said she was shot)

The Grade

“Your grade was the lowest this time, you know what that means.”

I swallow, lowered my head, and began to walk over to the organ removal center. 

(organs are being used as meat, meat has different grades)
