Purpose of Sadness
Chapter 3

The young male's house came into vision, his supposed relaxing walk ending with his cheeks red. He bashfully entered the two storied house, closing the door. He thought he was all good until loud stomping was heard from the wooden stairs. Looking up, he was met with an angry looking woman, her dark eyes showing hatred.

"How dare you leave this house. What if people saw your bruises!" She yelled. Tears welled up in her son's eyes, looking terrified as ever. The woman stepped closer to the boy, making a sharp thud. Her anger soon turned to disgust, slapping him across the face. His cheek throbbed as it became red.

Momma...

The male looked back down, now holding the tear stained, red cheek. Ms. Huang looked at him, looking satisfied. She marched up the stairs, looking back at him ever so slightly as he fell on the cold floor. The woman had a sense of pride with what she did, but deep down she felt guilty.

She was the reason for the blood that ran down his arms; the sweat that coated his body; and the tears that stained his pale cheeks.
