He is a monster. He is my monster. He always comes at night. I never know exactly what it would be each night and sometimes I wish for beatings instead of.... it. *Moan* He likes that. So there is nothing that I can do besides lay on my bead and dream of my beautiful mother and how someday soon I will see her again. So I can get away from him. From my own father. {the shock which should resonate from the audience should be profound}

Hopelessness ]]> 2018-07-16 04:23:26 UTC https://padlet.com/tiffanymaesmith/vvdw7zjt8ouf/wish/270274913 Introduction tiffanymaesmith https://padlet.com/tiffanymaesmith/vvdw7zjt8ouf/wish/270275055 30 minutes
beat 14- determination/ The door to my room creeks as it closes after that vile man was done for the night. I lay there in agony of complete disgust of myself. The monster... that monster is not my father, not a doctor at this moment he is the darkness which is still lingering in this room. Maybe I should do it tonight? Maybe I should end this torment for once and for all? I... I can do this. You can do this Mary! I slip off of my bed while trying to hold back a groan so he won't come back in here tonight and wobble my way to the bathroom. As I reach and turn on the bathroom light I slump onto the toilet to flip on the nozzle as the water starts to rise in the tub. *Sigh*
beat 15- finding peace/ My body aches with each move I make its okay though since soon... since I decided that tonight I will finally be with my mother. I flip off the nozzle and slowly inch myself in the water plunging in it. As I start letting my breathe go I can't help but wonder why did this life have to happen to me? My moon here I come.

beat 16- pain and hurt/ *Gasps* (deep and hard and fast breathing)
beat 17- confusion/ What happened? Is this suppose to be Heaven? Its dark and as I start to feel around I hear a *Ring*. What was that? *Ring* *Ring* As I start flinging around more the constant *ring* keeps up as I touch my wrist which I feel a string attached to. *Ring*
beat 18- panic/ *Ring* I'm so con-.. HUH OH NO, this can't be happening! I can't be in a coffin! This wasn't the plan! I didn't want to die this way?! I need to get out of here! *Ring* *Ring* "HELP ME," I say. *Ring* As I keep ringing the bell harder and faster. Cmon they have to be able to hear me! Is this coffin getting tighter in here or is it just me? *Heaving Breathing* *Gasps* *Ring* *Ring* Its getting harder to breathe.
beat 19- rage/ Why? How? I KNOW IT WAS HIM! He did this! It was his fault! I wish he was in here instead of me! He is the devil! Argh! I'm so mad I can kill him! I'm going to kill him! Maybe not in this life, but I will find a way. And that is the last thought I had as I took my last breathe in the retched box.

Confusion

The only regret that she has is that she made a vow and now she may never return to her moon.)

beat 20- confusion/ *Gasps* How did I get in my bathroom? I look all over as my eyes reach the mirror I am stunned to see myself so pale? I take my fingers to press it on the glass but it goes through it which is strange. Is this some sort of afterlife?
beat 21- intrigued/ I can't finish my train of thought cause I hear that retched door creaking. My anger is flourishing to the point of breaking when I see him walk into the bathroom with a bottle of whisky as he stands there and stares at the tub. beat 22- enemy/ I wait and than I hear it. I hear him say my name. No not darling. He said "Mary." How dare he do that! He has no right to speak my name! And I get more angry when he says it again! NO! I watch as he turns from the tub and looks in the mirror. I am so angry that I can feel it overcoming me as I glare at him.
beat 23- kill/ I hear him gasp as he drops the bottle and it shatters on the tile ground and he says for the last time "Mary". Thats it! I've had it! Its his time to feel pain! Yes! And those were the last thoughts I had as I killed my father on the bathroom floor. Never again will someone as the likes of him be living if I had a say in it. Never again!
beat 24- regret and guilt/ I'm sorry my moon.

The moon is her mother with whom passed away in her young years of childhood.

Kill
