Salvation
Even if it means being trapped, starving like an animal waiting for scraps, I’d rather that than face him again.
My eyes dart to the window, closed tight against the world outside. I push off the door, my legs staggering towards it. My hands fumble with the handle, slick with sweat, but I manage to twist it open. The window flies wide with a force that almost knocks me off balance. I lean out, my head hanging below the window frame, desperate for the fresh air to clear the fog in my mind. But all I feel is the dizziness, pulling me down, down into a dark space that seems impossible to escape.
