The Elevator

I don't know how long i can hold my breath

He stinks of alcohol, though he doesn't drink often when he does. He shows no mercy, imagine how much worse he could get. I don't know how long I could hold my breath. I felt a wave of euphoria permeate me, a sweet dizziness.

I was about to lose consciousness instantly, and as a vision, I see myself falling down with a huge thud and my father beating me to death. When I opened my eyelids, he was gone. Breath! I can breathe again. I never thought oxygen would look so valuable to me.

My father, as far as I could tell, was almost dressed. He coughs hard without covering his mouth with his hand. He always does that. He turned off the light and knocked the door. I'm rushing to hold her with my hands before she beat me up.

The sudden contact with wood stings my skin, but that's nothing I can stand. Since I'm out of here now, I can take a lot. The father walks to the bathroom and I run to freedom, anywhere away from him I feel free.

================================================================================I cry loudly with sobs gushing from my larynx, I let go, there's no need to be oppressed anymore, he can't hear me. My eyes are blurry and I see everything as if surrounded by fog. I think the elevator's is going up to my floor. The door opened and I ran in, colliding with a figure coming out of the inside. From his enclosure must be Mr. Jason I'd seen before he left.

Myrto: Who's the one who ran into you?

Jason: Don't pay any attention to her, mother, come on, let's go inside Orpheus is waiting for you.

He passed his arms around the shorter figure and walked away. The doors closed and I can express all the pain I feel, scream and cry uncontrollably. The sobs shake my whole body, and then nothingness. I ran out of tears and courage. With no other powers, I stood inexpressible with dry tears screeding my cheeks. I run into my bag and let myself fall asleep.
