I heard the alarm for this year's purge. It has begun and I am determined to get my blood-splattering revenge. I prepare my machine gun for my attack against the woman who took the life of my beautiful daughter Angelique. It was midnight. The right time to strike. I walked through the streets and searched for the life-taking woman. The streets were quiet, too quiet. I heard someone call my name. It was the woman who murdered my little girl. She shoots at me and I shoot back. I managed to get her right in between her eyes. She's dead.
It was the month of December and it was almost Christmas and 13 year old Leah was so excited to see what she got this year. She kept track of the number of days until this joy-filling holiday. Days went by and it was finally Christmas! Leah was so excited to see what was under their 5 feet fall tree. Leah, her 12 yer old sister Leonna, and her Mom and Dad all lived in a one-story home. What the two girls didn't know was that their mom and their dad were behind on the rent money. They were struggling to find their dad a job. The girl's mom is so stressed and they all begin to notice that she started drinking and taking pills. They didn't give it much thought at the moment. They just tried to live a normal life.
The girls ran downstairs on Christmas morning and noticed that there was no gifts under the tree. "Dad?" said Leonna." Where are all the presents?" Their Dad gave them a sad look and explained to them that they are 5 months behind on the rent money and couldn't afford gifts this year. As always Leah with a positive attitude tells her Dad that everything will be alright. Their mother then ran out of the room with tears and went in the bathroom. Puzzled, the girls knock on the door to see what is wrong but their mom yells for them to go away. As they walk away they hear the lock on the door click. "She locked the door." Leonna says quietly to Leah. It was the next day and the girls and their Dad were a bit worried because their Dad said that he didn't see their mom get into bed last night or see her this morning.Their Dad tells the girls to stay there while he goes to see if she is still in the bathroom. Their Dads yells and tells the girls to call the police. Their Mom was passed out in the bathroom, still breathing but unconscious. They call the police and the ambulance arrive 10 minutes later. Their Mom was so upset that she took her bottle of liquor and a couple a pills and layed in the bath.She was found passed out on the floor in the bathroom. The next day the girls and their Dad visit their Mom in the hospital. the doctor told them that she is in a coma and will remain in the coma for at least 2 months. Each of the family members have to go one at a time to visit her in her room. Their Dad goes first, then Leonna, and then Leah finally goes in the room to see her mother. She begins to cry and thank God for letting her mom live. Leah knows that her mother will be out soon. She begins to remember her life before her Mom and Dad started to show their stress. She takes her mothers hand and talks to her mom even though she probably can't hear her. She starts to have a flashback of her and her family at the beach 2 years ago. Leah closes her eyes and tries to take herself back in time to the beach. She feels her mom move her hand and thinks she is just losing her mind so she continues to remember that time. Her mom then wakes up and takes a deep breath. She breathes as if she were underwater struggling for air. "Leah?" her mom says. Her mom begins to panic and falls back into her deep sleep. Leah visits her again the next morning and holds her mom's hand and has another flashback. The same thing happen but this time her mom just layed there in confusion. TO BE CONTINUED.... |
