8. Render Loyalty

The landlord rented his space.

 

The landlord became suspicious.

 

He received complaints from other tenants,

Within a couple of weeks about loud music

And laughter coming from her room.

Banned from having friends in their home,

People would arrive in a van nightly during the summer.

The details of which emerged in the trial of insurance businessman,

Who was accused of helping her,

Without their knowledge.

 

She accused the abuse after a plea.

His mercy,

Her punishment.

‘The past is still very much a reality’ she whimpered.

 

Forced to watch for five months,

The wolf spoke as she faced the hearing

Without a translator.

They are forbidden to speak.

 

 

For her first 23 years, she was tortured.

 

 

Anti-social behaviour is having more than two people in his head,

Playing music so loud,

That it can be heard,

Outside of him.

 

The only person to feel the same resigned.

The landlord asked the hound to verify the affair.

He handed two leather-bound volumes containing a map of the marks.

It was on that day,

The landlord took the decision to leave seriously.

Once known,

He made the claim and gave no hint as to the tenant’s identity.

 

Up for a chance to win, We wish you safe travels.
