Her story attracted media from the four corners of the world.
There’s something intoxicating about killing a monster, they believed.
For her it was just a way to end the years of abuse.
The approaching footsteps broke her reverie and fear crept back in her heart.
If only she could push her daydreams into reality.
Linking this to Bar-A-Thon

Larger than the life nightmares and imaginations can ruin the life with fear taking over the positivity completely.
