ned walks in the room and the daily routine begins to occur. jack is awake as it happens. while ned goes to sleep in the bed with ma, jack walks out and tries to get something in his coat. ned hears. he wakes up with a start and grabs jack by the arm.
" don't touch him! don't touch him! don't touch him! " ma screams as jack is being thrown around. ned has enough of the screaming and starts choking ma. whimpers and subtle screams come from her slightly opened mouth.
" you wanna breathe? then calm down," ned whispers in her ear. she suddenly stops trying. her body goes limp. her eyes start going towards the back of her head.
he let's go.
her body rises as she takes in a big, long breath.
