On a Saturday when
Annalise was 7
she experience the true
evil of this world.
Of course she had know
that it was always there
but she had never
been this close to it
breathing in her face
The breath had smelled of
mints and alcohol.
It had come up to her
when she was walking back from the park
which she had ran to when
she was upset.
The evil had grabbed her
and thrown her against
a wall in a dark alleyway.
She had screamed.
And the evil let her go and
walked away.
She ran back to the place
she was forced to call home
and rolled up and cried.
She cried for herself
for the evil. For evil
as much as it was bad
had a heart.
She prayed to God
even though she didn’t believe in him
she thanked him for
letting her escape the evil
this time.
She may or may not have know
but later something more
sinister and horrible that
evil would come her way.
It’s name was love.
