Dead flower
#WritcoStoryPrompt44
Write a story based on this famous excerpt from Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl:

The violence of the crash, the noise, the small table overturning, helped bring her out of the shock. She came out slowly, feeling cold and surprised, and she stood for a while blinking at the body, still holding the ridiculous piece of meat tight with both hands.

All right, she told herself. So I’ve killed him...and he really deserves it! He treated me bad even though I'm his daughter. I feel ashamed to call him as a father. He never saw me as a daughter but as a material to enjoy. I felt like my body squeezed whenever he ill-treated it. But now I'm finally at ease with no regrets. I killed my so-called father whom I hated throughout my life.

She felt as if her mind is blocking and her heart is aching. It hurt her so badly that it was difficult to breathe she hushed herself in the quiet moment and left forever. It happened because of her starving and as being beaten up by her father every day as he fulfilled his lust, she becomes weak and tired. Her body was unstable and wounded completely. At last her body fell on the earth like a dead flower.

This is how the story ended up with her death.
