Through the meadow she softly tread; Her bruised and broken body bled;Careful to weave to and fro, no droplets left behind to show; The path she took for her escape, on the night of her brutal rape;He was passed out drunk once again; and didn't stir as she crept from him;She'd waited 'til the dead of night; before she began her freedom flight;No longer would her husband be the master of her destiny.

But there I was at the opening credits of the play, formal wear on, in one of the best seats. Somehow I was placed next to a man most of the world loved. He was a famous man, and he had enormous executive power in the country. But I didn’t l...

Everyone thinks it isme who's to blame for whathappened that night, but allI wanted was a kiss.Innocent fantasies infiltratedmy mind that night--Holding hands on the beach, orsoft loving kisses on each fingerbefore a kiss goodnight and a 'see you tomorrow'.I thought you loved me, thought itwas what parents call 'puppy love'--How wrong was I, Alaric?Was I wrong enough to deservewhat you did to me, to deservethe stares and...

Lips. They open and say nothing, giggling instead. Then a brain fuzziness. Then nothing. Then a bed and her brain is foggy and she has a migraine. His breath smells of alcohol, wafting into her face from the right. Then she notices a bit of dry blood on the sheet below her and between her thighs. Then running. Then chasing. Then screaming. Then police. Finally, crying.

Satisfied, he falls asleep Thoughts drifting into dreams Mad as Hell, I lie awake Struggling to bridle my screams Traces of my stolen DNA sheathe his most private places While bleeding cuts and purple bruises defile my most sacred spaces I gently nudge him but he doesn’t stir, so I connive a hasty retreat But flashbacks of an invariable scene fill my mind with familiar speech, “ You’ll die before I let you go!" He caution...

She's sitting at her computer desk when it blinks, alerting her of a new email. She crosses her fingers, hoping it's a college acceptance message or something of the kind, but instead finds one from her email-stalker, MGlass.

I just wanna talk... and they seemed...
