Hoping I wont die! I can hear cars passing by. I’ll keep screaming, maybe someone will come. All I can think is how could I have been so dumb? He had beaten me for a year. I never said a word. I never realized these beatings were absurd. I can’t go to sleep! I don’t want to weep! I think my life’s over, I’m getting weak.
