CRACKK! The belt lashed at my back.
''What did I do?" I screamed in tears.
M brother was now laying limp on the floor in a fetal position. Mother had
blood seeping from her head as she lay weeping and softly crying on the cold
hard floor.
The basement always scared me, now it might be the last thing i ever see.
CRACKK! The belt hits again,harder then before.
He spits his tobacco blackened spit right at my little brother.
Then he screams at me for anything he can think of. My ear start to rign as
i feel trickles of blood slowly moving down my back.
I start crying more loudly, he quickly starts tieing.
By now my brother is so close to death he has turned white as a ghost . My
mother still lieing there has stopped making noise.
I scream one last time for help...this time i see a shodow come down the
stairs. I then black out.
Days later I wake up in the hospital lieing next to my brother and mother.
We alol survived all except him. The shadow had killed him.
The next year i sit at the most beutiful wedding ever... my mother and the
man who saved us are together ... he was her high school love..who had
happened to stop by to say hi that day when he heard my screams.
