stabbed me" pointing at the mirror in front of her.
"she stabbed me twice and it still hurts and i don't
know why, look, look at me i am still shaking."
she slowly grasped reality as i was standing there

with fear and sorrow. she felt as if she
was in prison and if she was at her own home all these problems would disappear.
