Tale of Lee Ann

Lee Ann had never tried alcohol before
Had a little sip, then four bottles more
Her sense of humor seemed unusually high
Made friends with a stranger, a handsome young guy

Her judgement was now completely and deeply asleep
Pickled and pie-eyed, she got into the stranger’s jeep
I’ll take her home, he reassured her friend, Miss Kim.
Twenty-two years ago; and she was never seen again.

A lesson that still resounds today. Never lose focus, and never trust anyone who charms.

It is horrible the number of women who turn up missing after being lured away from family and friends by an abuser.
