Its Happening Everywhere

she had enough curiosity to kill a thousand cats but not about sex she awoke to him on top of her AGAIN then a quick blow to the head she had been stricken temporarily dumb suddenly she had a sharp penetrating eruption of rage and hatred and alien that belonged in as science fiction movie on a deep instincual level he knew what was coming next his conscious mind could not-or would not-put a name on it but his subconscious knew what it was he fled out the door in a blind-panic as wide-eyed and spooked as a dumb animal reacting to headlights she had a moment of vulnerability as the door swung shut behind him her exquistely shaped and hormoniously related features bespoke sensitivity and refinement opposite of a parody of seduction she felt like she was attacked by a pack of rats was she able to go after her attacker this time the fifth time the last time she knew who he was and where he lived she quietly moved around his bed as he drooled and dreamed and put the knife to his throat then slapped him in the face he began pleading and apologyzing squrrying and ceaselessly crying in what almost sounded like a guttural foreign language finally she made her point and left him to drown in his guilt but as soon as she closed the door she heard a "BANG" he took his own life he ended their pain all she could do was scream"NO DAD!" TO MANY CHILDREN ARE ABUSED BY RELATIVES AND WE IGNORE THE SIGNS THESE ARE THE ONES WE LOVE WE MUST OPEN OUR EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A subject that needs publicity. I work with kids and sometimes need to deal with my own anger at the perpetrator. Kids should never go through this and the A--holes who turn their heads and look the other way are just as guilty. God Bless. Vince

Wow...well this just shook my heart up...I am a parent and this really blew my mind up...I think this could be a short story if you developed it more..I love the story telling aspect of your writing. Your characters are not some lifeless entities just occupying space in a story..they are meaningful and filled with purpose..strong writing.
