So much is expressed through these few words, Susan. The savagery and snarling apply more to a beast more than a human being. Gets one thinking about how these abused people feel when facing abusers like these...what suffering they go through! ~ Regards // paul

Paul, such heartbreaking fear and terror some people suffer at the hands of abusers who act very much like savage beasts when they physically attack the people they say they 'love'. A very heartrending victimization. Thank you for your cherished thoughts and your feelings of empathy. I greatly appreciate your expressive comments and your friendship. Warmest wishes ~Susan

Thank you John for your awesome comment and wonderful insight. I love 'words' and I always try to chose the right words that will best depict the scenario. I love the process of cherry-picking the ripest, juiciest, most descriptive words for my writes. My warmest regards my friend.. ~Susan
