I tried not to panic.
When you panic, you make mistakes, and I couldn't afford one right now.
But more than anything, I needed to get away from this monster.
I gathered my strength and heaved myself out from underneath him.
His laughter followed me as I made a run for where I thought the door was.
The worst the storm could do was kill me.
Fingers seized my hair, and the pain wrenched me to a stop.
Don't run, he whispered.
I fought with the man's grip while I screamed and kicked against stone.
The words spilled out of my mouth through gritted teeth.
I heard metal hit the floor, and then his hands were around my throat.
I am not a freak, he said, forcing me to the ground.
The man's strength was overwhelming.
A vice was around my windpipe, squeezing every bit of oxygen out of my body.
I clawed at his face, ripped with everything I had, but my movements were slowing.
My fingernails were blue.
I got them done to match my prom dress.
Would Dad bury me in it?
I'm not a freak.
The words were on repeat.
