Affliction

affliction- noun. something that causes pain or suffering.

He grabbed my neck in his thick, chubby hands and lifted me up off of the ground.

I attempted to break free from his grasp by hitting him on the right side of his head.

I needed to breathe.

"Please," I whispered.

He threw me away from his body and I fell to the ground, huffing.

But it would not end there.

I was going to die.
