And heard chains rattle.
When the mother turned on the light, she saw her four children shackled and chained to the wall.
The youngest laid curled up and very still. She had been like that for a while now. The oldest child looked at her with dark eyes similar to her own.
“Please,” the child said. “Make dad stop.”
The mother pursed her lips, breaking out into a sweat as she clutched the cross that hung heavy around her neck. Her eyes were bruised and her figure too thin, but she had to believe.
She flipped the light back off.
“Spare the rod, spoil the child,” she murmured.
She shook her head and trembled as she went back up the stairs, her words whispering back into the darkness.
“Spare the rod. Spoil the child.”

I guess she isn’t ready for the mother role. A part of her role is to sacrifice.

❤ You are so kind.
I actually am writing a novel (several if you will) but never manage to finish any of them haha
I really need to buckle down and just do it. Why are novels so tough? ;o;

I totally admire that you are working on multiple novels. Novels scare the crap out of me….or maybe I am just too lazy to write something longer than 2 pages!! Hahahaha!!!
