“As I braced myself for the impact of his palm,
my bones told me to fight back,
for they are ready.
My mind constructed my eyes to look at the open door. I could leave this hellhole and bring back my vitality.
The door.
But the man looking at me with rage,
is the man I loved.
I closed my eyes
and
waited for the pain.
