I received a call, a daring call. A call that could change my life within a second. It started out normal, a conversation like usual. She was worried about me I knew it. My mum cares too much. I answeard with a simple "hello?" "where are you?", she always ask me this when i'm late home. "I'm about to cross the road, i'm right by our house I'll be there in about 2 minutes, why?", she didn't answear for a while then boldly replied with a simple "good". A simple 'good' that ripped me inside out. I knew something was wrong with her she never is this simple. Simple- something that is easily understood or done.

I opened that white door rattling my keys attempting to stay calm. I walked in slowly but alert. Slowly looking door to door, I opened the once white bathroom. The flowing red ribbons of her blood, my mothers blood flowed gently across the floor. The stains were everywhere. The walls. The sink. The bathtub. The once white tiles were stained. I looked in disbelief. It happened again. He did it. Again.
