Hgarvey Daniel Esquire Poet Narrative

The Darkest - Blackest Tuesday (Part Lv)

The thunder so loud scared Ginny , she tripped on the last step ,fell on the porch spilling her 
berries
Another flash of lighting and in that split second “Mom” became a very dark and Evil  “MA’AM”
The Ebony Crop came out of the bow and with a force I’d never seen Ma’am use, across 
Ginny’s thighs
“YOU little *****, I slave all morning making breakfast , I take you out to meet mother 
nature; pick berries
And this is the thanks I get I want all of YOU to empty your buckets Right here on the porch 
Right  NOW”
Billy was first and then went to help Ginny; Billy YOU need help I said The Crop hit me right 
in the mouth
I spit teeth and blood all over Alice’s blouse; his name is William and then a sight none of us 
had ever seen
Ma’am hit Billy in the back of the head he fell on the floor and didn’t move Bobby tried to 
grab the Crop 
She split his face from forehead to chin. “Now dance, Dance on those berries; stomp them 
into the porch
Screaming, crying, blood , tears flying: a lunatic waving a blood coated riding crop in victory. 
Billy got up
“get over here William and start jumping on the berries, your not crying , there’s no babies in 
this house”
“HA HA HA HEH HEH I am the Queen, the ruler“---it didn’t seem possible but Ma’am’s eyes 
went black
“George Francis get your ass over here; ”Ma’am” open your hand OPEN IT Berries! YOU little 
Bastard
Lightning lit up the yard for the fatal blow right in the throat blood spew from his mouth and 
from his neck
“Awice Awice wook down the dwive way Dawwy’s  coming home Bobby, Jim .and Joe tackled 
MA”AM
I couldn’t talk vewy well George, George “ Harry my real Mommy is right over there Calling 
me Home
Good-bye see you at my new house, tell everyone I Love them even MA’am.

Suzanne Delaney April 13, 2013 at 3:54 PM Violence from someone who claims to be a nurturer is the most confusing and evil thing that can happen to the trust of a child. It can either make or break your spirit. I think with you it made it stronger. Much love. Your S-N & P SuZ

Laura Breidenthal March 3, 2012 at 11:31 PM Intriguing and so very disturbing. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece...reading on.. Always, Laura

Joyce Johnson April 20, 2011 at 8:35 AM Unbelievable. You put me right there with you, Harry. I can't believe this evil woman was in charge of innocents. LShe had to be insane. Thank you for directing me to this series. I wish I had been there for you.. Love, Mom

Lynette Chachere March 15, 2010 at 8:22 PM she is mean as Hell. .thats too abnormal, and very dark.there is something beyond the brain wrong with her.her eyes turned black because she tormented "your" spirit.you are a special spirit, Harry.and also, because she committed that cruelty on an extreme level to you and the others.your brother, George, i have no words.and for you, i am so relieved to know now that your are still alive to tell this tragic and dark story.you were protected.i think.you to have witnessed this was. .something else.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen August 13, 2009 at 11:57 AM Dreadful and unbelievably true??? Right??? This would make a great movie.... Probably as good and as bad as Sybil. Do you remember that one? These writes are captivating. Lovingly, DAS-J

Carolyn Devonshire July 18, 2009 at 2:18 PM Amazing the way "Ma'am" turned into a tyrant and I certainly was startled by the fatal strike of lightning. How will this end? To the epilogue...
