Splintering
by Eireann Corrigan
It's about the aftermath. It's about what happens after a stranger breaks into a house and attacks a family. It's about the sisters who must barricade themselves behind a splintering door while tethered on the phone to 911. It's about the father who nearly dies. It's about the son who hides. And everything after.

waiting to hear him tackled down, for sirens,
or even Dad or Jeremy stuck and bellowing,
it seemed like it took hours. Mimi kept asking
the operator, Where's the police?
