It was very cool how you made yours into a story, and thereby truly giving a "twist" to the whole thing. Back with my congrats. Well done, Eve.

Abuse in any form is never good. Creative work written in this one. A woman should get out and get away when it goes like this because it could end very badly. Reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
