Have I really been gone for that long?

Not one day have I ever not thought about escaping this hell hole, finding a new life and just erasing my memories. Wanting someone to take it all away; the pain, the feeling of hopelessness and the darkness.

They’ll stop needing me someday. Surely they will dump me in an ally way to die or drown me in a river or something else even more horrendous.

Sometimes I dream about what life would be like if they hadn’t kidnapped me. I would study hard and get good grades; maybe I’ll go to university and become a doctor or a police officer. I would get married to a wonderful husband that would love me and I would want to have 2 kids. 1 boy and 1 girl. I would name the boy Westin and the girl Miriam. I would live long and soon enough I will be a grandmother and spoil my grandchildren. Life would be good and I would die old and happy.

If only.
