It was hard, but he had to accept it, his mother only slit her throat because he gave her the chance to do it. If he’d braved up and killed that whore the day his father brought her in, then his mother wouldn’t have suffered the awful way she did… If he’d been competent, sensible enough to see tha
His hands trembled as he reached for the knob, slowly twisting it unlocked. He pushed the door back, peeping inside like he’d done as a child when he wanted to sleep between his parents. She was sleeping, soundly…those soft breaths she took had his erratic breathing calming and mirroring hers. He s
