Her Mother

Struggle

Susie woke up and found im herself in a dark tiny space. Oxygen for her was decreasing. She pressed against the sides and it felt plastic like to her four fingers. From pressing against the sides she felt warmth. From her struggling oxygen was very slim. So she was getting strangled by the little room and little oxygen. She started to scratch the sides of the tiny area. Susie then started to see sun and a place. The small plastic area Susie was starting to cripple and the whole Susie started scratching at, was getting bigger as she picked at it. Then as it got big enough she squeezed herself through it.

Her feet touched the cold wet glass. She feels sad that she can't feel the grass between her toes. She didn't have any. Neither did Michael. Her father told her that one day when she really had a mood, she wanted to hurt somebody. Not herself. But her kids. So she took the hammer and broke every single one of them. Then took a steak knife and cut each one off. Her dad sworn she ate them for dinner, as her way of feeling guilty. Her dad sewed the wounds of his daughter's and son's toe holes. He was upset that that happened. Susie was told by her father that she lost her toes at only one years old and Michael's at only ten years old.

Michael used to tell stories to Susie when she was littler. She always remembered him telling her that whatever would come her way from their mother, he would always take the blow for her. He always wanted a little sister. And always wanted to protects her. Their father, David always taught Michael to be a gentlemen to any woman. Dave always wanted to make sure that his kids wouldn't turn out the way their mother did.

Susie would always remember her father. Even her father's death. And she knew soon, Michael's death is next. But this time Susie had enough and is going to make sure her brother, and herself to stay alive. And well.

Susie walked through the grass and found herself in a cemetery. The first time in forever, she saw beautiful grass. Then she saw smoke coming out from the swamp behind her. Animals started running out and a crow sat on her father's headstone. The biggest gravestone in the cemetery. Smoke started to creep around Susie's feet. She saw the crow run and started to screech. So Susie followed the crow out of the cemetery. The smoke stopped once Susie stepped out of the cemetery fence.

Susie looked around the fence for the crow, but the crow has gone. She closed her eyes to smell the beautiful morning, but then something had to change.

A car pulled up behind Susie. The person inside her car opened the passenger's door and grabbed Susie by the throat and threw her into the seat. Susie screamed when she found out it was her mother. She saw from her mother's eyes that she was high on cocaine. Then she realized she was gonna get a beaten.

Her mother took out a wooden spoon from behind her mother's back. Rebekah took the spoon and pounded the spoon into susie's face. Susie didn't cry because she didn't need to. She thought she has cried enough for what her mother has done to her. She had no tears left. So Susie let her mother pound her face with the wooden spoon. The only thing she could do is scream. Nobody listened. Nobody looked. Her mother kept pounding the spoon against Susie's face till she turned purple. Rebekah opened a couple scars that she already made across her daughter's face. She didn't care. She let them bleed all they could.

After a couple seconds when Susie's mother stopped, she passed out.

When Susie's mom pulled into the driveway, she left the car running with Susie in it. Rebekah rolled up all the windows and turned the heat on high. She put the car in reverse and quickly got out.

She ran into the house and looked out the front window without anyone seeing her face. The car rolled down the hill of the driveway. Rebekah saw a semi truck going at least fifty miles per hour. Rebekah was crossing her fingers. The car reached down to the passenger's side. You heard the semi truck's brakes squeal to stop for the car, but it was too late.

Then all you hear was a loud crash of the car and the semi truck. The semi truck hit the passenger's side and flipped the car at least a dozen times. By the time the car crashed it smashed itself into the tree a block away from Rebekah. Susie at that time was still passed out. Doors of the car were smashed in and the all the glass shattered. Most of the glass shattered all of the passed out Susie. Blood dropped from her face from the shattered glass that hit her. There was a gauging whole in Susie's leg from the door coming in on her. A piece of the door was still in Susie's leg. The semi truck started to light on fire from under it's hood. The semi trucks driver Mr.Jason, ran over to the car to see if there was anybody in it.

Mr.Jason ran over as quick as he could. Rebekah's car already set in fire. Then he saw Susie. She was still passed out. He found a crow bar on the sidewalk and wedged the door open. Susie slid with the door. Mr.Jason caught her and found the piece of door in her leg. With the crow bar he wedged he piece if door off the car door. When he was finished he took Susie and the piece of car door and ran to the middle of the block for safety. He cradled Susie in his arms. Trying not to cry.

So he laid Susie on the ground. He saw that she only had four fingers and no toes. He got curious. He focused on what he wanted to do. So he carefully slid the car door piece out of Susie's leg. Blood gushed and splattered all of Mr.Jason's pants. He took his raggy like shirt and wrapped it around the wound. Soon enough the blood leaked through the shirt. So he immediately called 911.

A a couple minutes later Mr.Jason still lied next to Susie, hearing the ambulance sirens coming down from two blocks over. He saw Susie's face turn back to red and saw her eyes open. She shot up and gasped for air. Susie cropped herself up with her arms. Susie didn't feel the pain.

A couple minutes later the ambulance showed up and took Susie. As Susie was being out on the gurney, she saw her mother starring out her behind a tree close to them in the sidewalk. Susie started screaming 'no' and pointing at her. The paramedics try to calm Susie down and put her in the ambulance truck. Mr.Jason went with Susie to see if she makes it alright and to get some answers.

As the ambulance turned the corner, Rebekah started walking back to the house. "That son of a bitch, just doesn't want to die. Does she?" She already knew her story. That story that she has, is a lie.
