Unblinking Eyes

This morning Annie was underneath the bed and she was very, very still. So still that I wasn't sure if she was breathing. Her eyes were wide open and staring and she wasn't blinking. So I said, Hey Annie.
Nothing.
I said it again a little louder.
Nothing.
I started to walk towards her.
Nothing.
I got to be about 12 inches from her, and I said, "Annie".
She blinked and looked really annoyed with me. As if to say, Why are you in my face?
And I yelled at her, Because I thought you were dead!
She didn't even roll over. Just turned her head and started staring off into space again.
