Don't Give Up On Me
After I'm abducted, I call my mother, a policewoman, for help. However, she hangs up on me and stays by my adoptive sister's side.
"Go to hell if you're so keen on it!" she snaps.
I calmly watch as the abductors pluck my nails and torment me until none of my skin is left unharmed.
In my past life, my mother actually came to my rescue. She left my adoptive sister by the roadside, and the latter ended up being violated and murdered.
From then on, I became a criminal in my mother's eyes.
She received an anonymous text on my adoptive sister's death anniversary.
"I bet a good girl like you wouldn't want your mother to know you hired us to abduct you, right?"
She thought I orchestrated the abduction because I wanted to vie for her attention. She thought that was the cause of my adoptive sister's death.
"I've saved people all my life. I never would've expected my flesh and blood to be such a shameless monster! You should go to hell as atonement for killing Charlene!"
She sewed my mouth shut, shattered every bone in my body, and threw my ashes into a junkyard.
When I open my eyes again, I find myself back to the day my mother makes her choice.
