Prologue

Fireworks exploded behindslapped me across the face once more I sluers gingerly over the spot where it see when I touched broken skin and wetness that surely indicated blood

“You just don’t knohen to fucking quit, do you bitch?”

I opened my mouth automatically to deny…to ask what I’d done now, but I should have known better

Before a sound had even passed , “I don’t kno onna learn, you stupid little cunt? God daled you last tih this again!”

I squeezed htly shut; I didn’t want to see the blows that were coin to trickle downto swell A scream wrenched from my throat as the toe of his boot connected with my tender ribs, then my arm as I instinctively wrapped it around my body for some kind of protection

But the abuse just kept co in rapid succession I tried to craay to no avail; he only followed, punching and kicking while I tried my damndest to protect my head and the other vital parts of my body

I sobbed in pain, writhing on the floor while he stood overfroed at ression I’d committed this time…and as the blows continued to rain down onahere I couldn’t feel it anymore, where he couldn’t touch me anymore

The words of the lullabythe theht me relief…

The htly

Over top your wee-bit head

So rest your eyes irl

As Momma tucks you into bed

Off to sleep now, off to dream

Snuggle in and hug ht

I love you always and forever

Go to sleep, ht
