A very dramatic write here. I imagine you have taken cue from the contest prompt. I don't normally read work such as this. Not my thing. It is well written however. Best to you in the contest.

This is a good write. My friend, Angie took her life because of the bad relationship.

thanks
being threatened can lead to despression and suicide before being killed as well . .

While very descriptive, I can only think of avoidance, not killing myself.
Well wishes in the contest.
Thank you for sharing.

true
avoidance evidently won't work in this case so it is kill yourself or I will do it . . depressing if you want to live

thanks
true but evidently one cannot do that first so it is kill yourself or I will do it . . depressing thought

I'm afraid all this does is make me think of those wierd gummy lips you get at candy stores. Graphic but lacking the sorrow to make it work. Thank you

thanks
weird gummy lips or not, it is depressing to think you must kill yourself first if you want to live or if you want to avoid the pain . . whether it is literal or not . . I would be sorrowful if I wanted to live . . -

I suppose, but it's better than being given no choice at all.
