I tremble in the shadow of your fist's silhouette. Your drunken-stenched breath grips my nostrils as your hand clutches my neck. I gag. You strike; the first blow erases my vision, blood trails the path of your hand to my ******* - gullible preys. You strip away my clothing, seams loosening in duress, exposing more than flesh. My useless limbs, bound as you force-feed your will. . . I've forgotten how to scream.
