[23] One to go

I ran. Rob was gone. He's gone forever.

"Don't talk until dad comes, ok?"

I ran down the stairs, my breathing quicken.

"Tell me a bedtime story, mummy."

Tears rolled down my face. He's gone. I can't believe it.

"No! Don't!"

Shit. He's back with his gun.

"I love you, Mitch."

It's too late. He's coming.

"I wanna see mummy!"

He's coming back for my blood.

"Wake up!"

The stairs creaked under my weight.

"Why are you sleeping?"

Footsteps are coming down.

"It's morning already!"

A bullet whizzed past me.

"Daddy help me!"

I turned right. I see the light.

"I wanna stay with daddy!"

Pain travelled up from my thigh. Fuck.

"Kid, you must leave now."

He got me.

"Daddy!"

I fell.

"Mummy!"

Someone ran into the house.

"Help me!"
