Ecstasy
The sound of my dad’s footsteps drew closer and soon, they stopped right in front of me.
“Your eyes are closed, Yasmin?”
I nodded silently and more tears streamed down my face. He breathed deeply; my breathing hitched.
“Stretch out your hands.”
“Please,” I begged, my voice barely audible, choked by unshed tears.
“Stretch out your hand, Yasmin. This is for your own good. What does Hebrews twelve, verses six to eight say?”
I sobbed loudly. He made me say it every time he punished me. I had spent my whole life reading the Bible but this verse… it plagued me in my dreams.
