Scream ( Part III)
“Here,
now. That’s enough. You were sent to go get her. Not bring her here.” A new voice said. A shadow fell across my feet. It was solid and wide and no-nonsense. When the great gaspings for air stopped, when
I no longer sucked in breath against the psychic venom, I straightened. The woman was as her shadow indicated: solid
and forthright. And though her eyes were
cold they also made a promise that I dared not let go of: I would survive
this. I would survive this misery much
as I’d survived everything that came before.
All the betrayals that came before.
I would survive
this thing my husband brought down upon my head.
