This is no Act of Vengance

She was already spitting blood the first time she did it. Her body was so battered; it was crazy to intentionally destroy herself further. The bible says your body is a temple and you should treat it right. She saw her body as a house on fire that no amount of water could put out. She was beyond saving, beyond hope. All she knew was his rage.

Cut one was experimental.

She wanted her screaming and crying to end and with that small cut she managed to achieve the impossible - that was silence. The pain took her breath away.
