   Summary

   She wonders if the water will stain if her body lands the right way. If the blood will spray and tinge it pink, or if it’s too large for that. Will they have to drain it? Will her blood become a biohazard, a source of infection that she failed to cure? Maybe the gunshot will scare the frogs and they won’t be seen until next year. How many children will wake up crying like they do with flares and fireworks? How many will hear their first shot, and attend their first funeral?

   How many lives will Ellie ruin before she turns sixteen?

    

   [Ellie has a plan. Things don't turn out the way she wants them to.]
