Eyes of the Soul
I'm in so much pain that I can't understand a word she is saying...I fantasize that I'm bashing Sabrina in the head in her sleep with the same wooden board.
...Linda takes my limp right hand into hers..."She's not going to get away with this, I promise you. Here put some Vaseline on your hands, maybe they won't look so bad tomorrow."
I look up at my sister with tears in my eyes. Sabrina's threat had finally hit me.
"Do you really think she will make me eat out the same dirty plate for a whole week?"
"I don't think so. I think she was just trying to scare you...
We begin to say our prayers...
"Dear God, as you lay us down to sleep, this is not the life we want to keep.
Please let us die before we wake. I pray our souls for you to take.
Protect me and my sister from the devil's hand, and carry us to heaven as soon as you can. Amen."
Night is once again a welcome haven as me and Linda lower our heads onto our pillows. True to my prayer, I wish not to wake up....

Sound unbelievable? Its' not... this is just a sample of the atrocities suffered by a six year old girl and her sister at the hands of someone entrusted to love and protect them.
