It’s funny how most abusive mothers can cover things up so nicely isn’t it? He tried only once to tell someone the things his mother did to him. No one would believe she could be such a sick, demented mess of a human being.

          He heard her heavy footsteps stomp the thinly carpeted floors above him. She ran down the stairs like a buffalo in a running herd. He knew it wasn’t good. He sat, motionless on the side of his bed, with feet hanging off. The clock ticked only once more before the door flew open and she charged at him. She dug her nails into the soft skin on the back of his arm, that when pinched felt worse than being stabbed in the leg, something of which he had experience in, a story to be told another time perhaps.

          He thought she might not have found out – but he was wrong – terribly wrong. She dragged him up the stairs, her nails still digging into his flesh, and roared. A mad woman’s roar. He didn’t squirm this time, for he knew that fighting only increased her anger, which meant a hard spank with a longer, thicker wooden spoon.

The bathroom was the end of their destination. He looked down at the poopy briefs he tried to conceal behind the toilet only an hour earlier. Wails and tears overcame him and he looked for sympathy in her eyes but he received none. Instead, the brown stench of cloth was pressed into every oral cavity that made itself known on his face. Smears of feces mixed into saliva and salty tears.

She was sick of her four-year old son’s inability to wipe his own bottom after going to the washroom. Her new action plan served her well for she no longer needed to clean up his mess. After all it was only an old method used to house train a dog. Any mother would have done the same…

What a bitch!! The poor thing! I would like to go to their house and take that kid away from her for good! Well,if it was a real story, I would.

Ugh. I hate people like that! Good story, by the way. I'll be angry for awhile now. :p

very sad. The reality of child abuse is scarier than any horror novel. I felt this story had realism to it

So real, horror seems to weak a word. Made my stomach twist in anger and hatred. Well done.

Excellent

I agree with someone else's comment, that it had a sense of realism to it. I won't say much, other than it is definitely real. There are a lot of sick parents out there and unfortunately I've met a few. Anyone who writes something that shows the world how grotesque and hateful people can be is okay in my book. I have a story on abuse and such, it's called "Rose's Thorn," wish you'd give it a look. It isn't quite finished, but it's close.
