There was a crisp in the air that October afternoon a little girl sat in the living room grounded and nose to the corner , waiting for her mother to come home from the train station from getting him... The little girl hears her pull up to the driveway and slammed her car door. Instantly fear draped over her,  scared and starting to shake she ran to her bed in her room she shared with a sibling. She can hear her mother unlocking the front door, she throws the blankets over her face scared. She hears him walk to her room and he says to her "hey babygirl what, I don't get a hug?" Her mother standing behind the man laughs and walks away.

He walked over towards the little girls bed and sat down and hugged the child.

Little did she know her life was going to turn out like this, spending her days with a monster.
