It Doesn't Go Away

I scream and push my step father to the ground with all my strength. He collapses to the ground. I get on him and punch him, over and over.
Again and again.
Until I can't even feel my own fists.
His face is covered in dark, red blood.
I scream, louder each time. My mother is sitting in the corner, her face in her hands, crying.
I stand up, pull him up and hit him against the wall.
I grab the broken empty Soju bottle beside him.
I don't hesitate.
Not even for a second.
The hate I have for him takes over.
I stab him in the chest;
Multiple times.
Until I realize that this is it
I just killed him.
