Tears streaming down her face
The pain unbearable to handle
Clenching her throat as he comes closer
Gasping for breathe
But unable to get a sufficient amount
Holding her against the wall
Against her very will
Struggling with all her might
Trying to fight this abuse
To stay alive for a little longer
Until help arrives
Pressing up against her
Smelling her hair
Filling his nose with a scent
Unmistakable scent
Trying to push him
Crying and screaming
Her throat sore
Can’t fight him off
Tearing at her clothes
Like an animal that was caged for years
A beast within bursting
Can’t contain this instinct
A scream of help
A beg of no
Throwing him to the other side of the room
Stunned and shocked
She runs
Falling and tripping as she climbs the stairs
Trying to get away
Bursting through the door
Looking back and seeing him coming up the stairs after her
Out through the back door
Falling on the lawn
Him leaping through
Jumping on her back
Pinning her down
He flips her over
Tearing her shirt off
And lifts her skirt up
Distracted for a few moments
She knees him making he fall back
Scrambling back up
Running through the gate
Shirt in her hand
Laying on the ground
Groaning in pain
Unable to move from the pain
Running down the street
Looking for life
Looking for help
Sirens are heard as she looks up
The screech in front of her
Collapsing to the ground
Yelling at her
Coming down the street
Limping in pain
Then turning and running away
Click click
His hands bound behind his back
She lays on the ground
Crying
With her mother and father around her
Embracing her and telling her she will be okay
He smiles as she looks up at him
Mouthing the words
"I WILL be back"
Eyes going wide
Unsure of what to think
Just hoping to be free
Of this nightmare

You have done a great job with this write. Act of rape is a control issue at the end mouthing I will be back is a form of control so the victim feels unsafe they hope to get the person so shook up they will back down from there story. I am glad she got away so many do not get away live in shame. The ending fits so many women they wish the nightmare to be over. It takes time and work. You have done a great job with this write.
