ShAdOw Of a LitTlE GiRlS mInD

Once there was a girl and she lived on a large farm. Her mother owned.

Once it was full of green grass, and now is browned and muddy. Was once filled with Horses, cows, ducks,and all sorts of happy critters and now you would be surprises to hear the peep of a mouse. Once a happy home is now a empty house.

The laughter was lost the day her mother died, little did she know how her life had also ended but not by death.

Their was no funeral or wake, Just she was there and then she was gone. in the morning Instead of her mother; her aunt and her very odd son were their to tell her that they were in charge and her mother is dead.

She was only 13 and had no choice, So all day she spent doing all the thing that her aunt and her son did not want to do, and that included anything to do with work.At night she was force to sleep in a empty room to sleep, but soon after she got locked in this room; only to be freed when her assistance was needed. She was feed small scrapes of the meal she prepared and rain water she gathered in a bowl by her barred up window.

For a year this went on and she wished for the day for her freedom to come.

Year after year the boy went from acting oddly to being mean, then just went to full on abusive.

He started with the farm animals, but did not take long for the animals to vanish, and then his attentions turned to the now 15 year old teen.

Her day were dad but her nights were worse, he started to beat her nightly and her aunt told her to be good and bad things wound not happen.

But still even on a day she was the best anyone can be, and that would be a night worse then ever before.

This went on till her `16th birthday on this day she was done waiting on her freedom; she was going to take it back.

She waited for her once in year birthday beating with a slate roof shingle that fell in during a storm and waited as if she were asleep. She waited , and then the door rushed opened and in came the boy and as she jumped on top of her she lunged into a empty room, her empty room.

I was all a big bad dream, but still this newly turned 13 year old girl would stay in her bed for hours till she could hear the sound of laughter that her mother makes and she did.
