Excerpt from a book in progress.,.. please tell me what you think 👍
As she sat in the bed tears streaming with her throat feeling like it was being closed with a vice gasping for air. She felt as though she couldn't move maybe out of fear she broke out into a sweat hearing herself screaming please don't, please don't!! Heart racing feeling like it was over; she thought to herself this is it. Thinking of everyone she loved and all her mistakes she braced herself as the gun lowered. All she saw was two dark shadows running away. Left with nothing on her person she exited the truck and ran screaming help me please!!! Her eyes open as she cries and she asks God why? Why couldn't she forget? The flashbacks of that horrible night never go away but instead have rented a permanent spot in her brain right next to watching her father take his last breath and her son crying as social services took him away and she wondered how much more could she take.
