The burning heat seared her skin until she bit through her own lip, crushed her molars, and still couldn’t

bear it.

As Natalie’s life flashed before her eyes- twenty–three years of helplessness and frustration she could only close them with a bitter heart, powerless to change her fate.

“Natalie! Can you hear me? Where are you?”

“Natalie! You slept with me, you can’t just walk away! Do you hear me?!”
