Here is a summary of The Centipede by Rony V.

Diaz:

Eddie is a little kid who often gets picked on by his sister. He describes a
time when he went into her dollhouse and broke one of her dolls and she
got so angry that she fell down, foaming at the mouth, and had to go to
the hospital. Ever since then, the family has to be calm around her and
work at not angering her or inspiring any extreme emotion because she
has a weak heart. So Eddie takes it. He takes it when she complains
about his pigeons and they have to let them go. He cries, but doesn't
retaliate when she burns his butterflies. He says nothing when she asks
that his monkey be killed because it is mocking her.

He tells of a hunting trip with his father when they first met a dog that he
adopts, and how it has helped him since, how he hangs out with it every
day, why it is important to him. And one day he sees his sister beating it
with a stick. He says nothing, because he shouldn't upset her, but his
hatred is building from all the times that she has been cruel to him and
destroyed the things that he loves. She tells him that if he allows it in the
house again she will have the workman kill it, because it ruined her
slippers. He runs after the dog, calling it. He finally gets close enough to
see it, though it won't come to him or allow him to touch it, and he sees
that his sister has punctured the dog's eye.

When he comes home, the workman shows him a centipede that he

found while chopping wood. Eddie kills it so that it won't hurt him to carry
it, goes inside, and throws it in his sister's lap. She screams, accuses
him of trying to kill her, and falls down, clutching her chest in pain,
moaning. He feels bad, saying that the centipede is dead (it can't hurt
her), but she doesn't move.

That is how the story ends. The reader is left to wonder what happened
to the sister, and what happens next. It seems to be a story about how
not allowing our emotions to be vented in some way can be dangerous,
but also about injustice, and how we deal with it.
