Book Cover & Preview Text
It had been another day of not eating. It was Saturday, so there was no school lunch to tide us over. Mom finally came home from wherever she had been and she had a box of fried chicken from her favorite fast food restaurant. The only problem was that it was not a big box that had enough chicken for all of us. It was a three piece snack sized box. She lay on the couch and put the box on the floor next to her. I was peeping out the bedroom door and watching her every move. She was not even thinking about feeding us or the fact that we had not eaten all day. She finally fell asleep. I told my brothers that I was going to get that chicken for us. I got a knife from the kitchen. I went into the living room, where she was still sleeping. I slowly and softly walked toward her. When I was directly over her, I looked at her lying on her back. I turned and saw my brothers watching me. The only way I was going to get this chicken for us was to kill her. I slowly raised the knife over my head with both my hands. I just stood there for a few moments, gathering up the courage to stab her. I held my breath and brought the knife down.
