Come sit....

and let me tell you a story...

There once was a little girl who was afraid to be alone...especially to be alone with a particular old man. A man she knew all too well. You see, this man was not nice to her, for he did things to her that were never to be spoken of. Things she lived with for a very long time. She grew to hate him and everything about him. The sound of his voice, the look of his old weathered hands, the very site and smell of him made her nauseous to the core. The stare from his eyes hid a deep dark secret. A secret that only she could tell. As this little girl grew up and became a young woman, the old man grew older and became very ill. She had wished for a long time, although she felt guilty, that he would just die, disappear forever. Eventually, he did. And she was very happy. For she was finally free....or was she?

To be continued ....
