Yasmin's father stomped in the house in anger shouting at the top of his lungs, yelling for her. He was in a bad temper as was typical, but today, he seemed more maddened and agitated. When Yasmin exited the bedroom and paced into the corridor towards the living room, her eyes started to water as she witnessed a sight that  would haunt her, every minute,  every day of her life, a sight so horrific, fearful, her small frame was trembling, paralyzed with distressing anxiety  , a sight that would be embedded in her mind for    the rest of her life.

The news shook her so much that she curled up on the floor in pain, severe chest pains; a panic attack hitting her at maximum.
