The day it started to my recognition.

From the earliest that I can remember it was a dark night and cold day . I was about 6 years old when it started at least to my knowledge .

It was myself and my older brother , minding our business playing in my room . What we were playing I cannot remember , throughout the commotion on the bottom floor , between my mother and step father .

While we were playing about 20 minutes into playing I heard a scream a loud one , as well  as footsteps as if one was running .

Unknowing what is happening we kept on playing , since we were always taught what you hear and see you do not speak . Not too long after my mother in her pyjamas came running into our room screaming , shouting . I can't recall but she screamed either "go away!"or "leave me alone!" . Frightened and in shock I stood still as if I were frozen and just stared , not knowing what to do . When my mother ran into our room she shut the door as fast as possible yet I could see a glimpse out the door , there he was yelling , looking angrily and frustrated the look on his face is something I had never seen at the time ever before it was scary as if he was possessed . He had a knife in his hand .

When the door was shut my mother sat behind the door crying , screaming covering the door with her arms spread like wings as if it were
a blockage . What is going on ? I ask myself , what do I do ? I ask myself .

Still in shock , I unfroze and ran towards her as well as my brother , we sat next to her and tried shielding the door as well . Screaming the fear of our mothers life in tears  .

The aftermath is all but just a blur . Up till this day , wondering and questioning what happened or if it were all true or just my imagination.
