FLASHBACKS
It was late afternoon. Tired, the girl finally arrived home. It was quiet, so quiet you could hear the soft humming noises of the fridge, the ticking of the clock hung slightly to the side on the wall and the soft plop of water droplets that leaked from the kitchen tap.
It was peaceful. She felt at ease, something she didn't experience often.
Unfortunately one cannot have a day without trouble. Everything fell apart not much later.
The front door opened with a loud thud, an angry woman making her way towards the confused girl before yelling her lungs out. Behind her were a boy and a little girl. The boy mouthed something towards her before sticking out his tongue and rushing upstairs while the little girl hid behind the livingroom door, watching the scene unfold with teary eyes.
The harsh words kept coming, as sharp as knives, mercilessly etching their gruesome carvings into her skin.
The women kept going and going. The girl was sure there was no end to this all. Every day the cycle repeats itself, and oh, how tired she was.
