Her Worst Nightmare
The stain never comes off.
I hear music and laughter. Sounds that dig deep, cutting sharply through my confusion and panic, gouging inside my ears. I hear voices. Voices of ghosts and nightmares. Voices I've heard my whole life. Voices I could never escape. I want to piss myself, I want to puke, but I know that will make Mum mad.
I can't stay here, in this tiny bathroom. There's no point. The lock is broken.
Sometimes, if I'm quiet, if I'm really quiet, they forget I'm here, so caught up in their shit that they don't remember the little mouse hiding in the bedroom. I could go there now and hide in the wardrobe. Yes, that's what I'll do.
