Carrie Bryant

what she left behind

Mateo walked into his room
with tear welling up in eyes
he almost didn't see it
it was left on his pillow

memory book
he couldn't figure out what memories they shared as she was taken from the at such a young age .

a letter fell out
I'm gone. Please stay strong
dad will need you more than you know
now there are a few photos
in the book of us, I was very young. We looked so happy and never lost that smile
I love you
always
Carrie

Mateo opened the book the zoo Mateo busted out laughing at a memory of a monkey throwing his poop
at mom, she ran screaming like a banshee
this one is the day she was born. The family couldn't wait to hold Carrie, but every time
an uncle or aunt or cousin would try to hold her. Carrie would wail she was at peace in
my arms or dad's she wasn't comfortable with mom either we all hoped that would pass with time but it only got worse
Anyway, let's see what else she has. Wow, how did she get a
school picture in here

the next pages are not happy
but it may help give you an idea of what mom allowed

Mateo brutal beating
starvation
rape
my sister did not deserve any of this, and those idiots at her school made things worse

the page is not pretty
Mateo, oh shit she wasn't kidding revenge she definitely got her revenge.

Mateo placed the book in a lock box and sat back down
I his chair thinking
when he heard loud shouts
coming from the living room

Mateo who the fuck shit Calhoun son of a bitch
Mateo silently came down the back staircase took the safety off his then shoved the into the back of his
head one word move
Calhoun had no choice the gaurds took any weapons he may have been carrying all jewelry dropped acid to insure he couldn't be traced
his destroyed and dropped in acid
Mateo when my father comes down here you will tell him everything from start to finish lie and I'll put a bullet through your mouth.
