Before She Dies (Slaughter Creek)
“A sound that made the walls of the old wood house vibrate as it echoed in the night.
A sound that tore at her heart.
She leapt from bed and raced to her twin daughters’ room. This was the third time this week Amelia had woken up screaming, crying, terrified, inconsolable, although God knows Norma tried her best to comfort her and find out what was causing the nightmares.
She rocked and sang and patted and danced and did everything in her power to soothe her, but lately nothing worked.
Rain and wind beat at the windows, rattling the windowpanes and sending a tree branch scratching at the foggy glass.
She wrapped her robe around her, shivering as a chill enveloped her. She felt like such a failure, like God was punishing her for some wrong she’d done. If only she knew what it was, she’d change it and beg for forgiveness.
Anything to help her little girl.
