Summer is always thought of as a season of sunshine and smiles; it represents something beautiful and loving and it is also a secret code for school break, but to me, summer now is always described in one word, torture.
My name is Lilith Rose Marie Linton, some call me Rose, some call me Lilly and to others, I am plain old Lilith, but to my dear mother, I was always Summer.
I grew up in a small town in York called Richmond. It is a very peculiar town, though if gazed upon from the outside appears quite ordinary.
I always loved the Summertime as a little child; as did my mother, who had named me years before I was even born. She had a dream, or so she told me, that I would be born on the first day of Summer, just as she was, and by some prodigious miracle, I was born on exactly the day she had predicted.
Though my mama had already picked my name, my father scowled and shook his head vigorously, declaring that my name to be Lilith like his mother rather than summer. For my father was a very narcissistic and cruel man and was not liked very much in our small town.
So, I grew up loving the Summer and was named as such by my mother, though she did it secretly as to not anger my father who grew crueler as I matured. But I was a lucky child because my mother loved me, therefore she protected me from any affliction he sought to afflict upon me.
But dear mother could not protect me forever and so she passed after many years of torture, leaving me at my own demise.
From that day I have always hated Summer and seldom smiled.
I write this now because I want people to know that I did live.
I want my voice to be heard and my story to be told.
