you knew it was going to rain today and yet you didn't want to go home and see the monster who beats you up curses at you and then leaves you on the cold pavement crying .you knew you had to get home if you didn't the chances of dying in the cold were high. entering the apartment and tiptoeing to your room in hopes of not waking anyone up. always, you tripped over 'something' or shall you say, someone. knowing well who exactly it was, you stepped back "where have you been?" his cold deep voice made you step back. "answer me!!!!" he spoke again. ------- ------ I'm in affliction.help! affiliction=the state of being in pain.
