Samhain Night

Come on, Zoe, get it together. Stop crying. He is going to hear me sobbing. I should run. I must get out. They have pushed me too far. I will suffer no more. They won’t miss me if I leave. They act as though I am invisible. Why have a child that you are only going to ignore?

Zoe tried to scream. “No, stop,” but her voice would not follow. She couldn’t fight him. She was scared if she fought him, he would surely kill her. She was small and fragile, while he was strong and manly. She didn’t have a choice but to lay there and let him have his way with her.
