Breathe 7.

Breathe – gasping ragged breaths while fumbling for the light-switch.

The memory of her eyes, terrified, frenzied, staring up at him from the darkness of her prison.

He hadn’t been able to stay. Mumbled excuses about the ambulance.

The real reason, those eyes.

He’d seen them in the mirror so many times after his father had finished with him. He knew if he looked now he’d see them again.

His eyes, Jenny’s eyes the same.

Now they shared an invisible bond. A whispered secret only they’d hear.

Breathing slowing, no more sleep tonight.

Was Jenny dreaming he wondered? Screaming, trapped, suffocating.
