Dark night. Not a star in the sky . Not a sound , not
even a single movement, as if the whole nature stood still.
As still as she had been standing
for hours and hours. Numb from pain, numb from fear, numb from shame, wallowing
in a pool of her own blood, bruises everywhere, face swollen from all the tears
and all the punches. The punches that kept coming, and coming , and coming . The screams
muffled, "scream and you may die", "cream and you will
die".
And then, the sweet release of nothing and the
heartbreaking pain upon opening her eyes again only to realise that she hadn't
died, she had merely fainted.
Hours and hours she stood still
as night turned into day, her heart turned into steel, dead eyes, revenge and
hatred in the place of her once beautiful soul. Crime complete.
