the violence surrounds her like a choking gas. frozen in fear, her face is sore from where she’s been STRUCK. the dangers of this world were more than she could overcome, especially alone. and now she was -- ALONE. her father lays motionless before her, blood pooling out of his body like the water in a river. and there’s nothing in her mind but an incomprehensible fear and anger. powerless, that’s what she is -- she wants nothing more than to grab anything and strike the man, the MURDERER before her. and it’s as if her wish is granted, as if the power of her will had the man fall in front of her. she scatters back away from the body, and she crawls towards her father. eyes now blurred with tears as she looks up. there’s another standing there where the BAD MAN had stood. but she doesn’t care if he’s saved her, she’s all too full of terror. “ n----no !! ”
