The Child Is Gone

One.

Everything hurt.

He left the room as if nothing had happened and I heard him turn on the shower. I got up on shaky legs, not sure of what to do now. Not sure of anything now. I need to get out of here.

I gathered my things, and hurried as fast as my aching body would take me, I didn't want to face him again.

Dazed and confused, and not sure of how but I found myself on the predawn streets, my car keys in hand. As I drove my mind kept asking one question.

Had that really happened?
