The Goat Man Hanging By The Crab Apple Tree

Chapter #1

I sit on my bed,my heart heavy, tears running down my cheeks. I whip my bloody nose. I go to the bathroom to fix my cut up arm i wash the dark blood away. I quiver at the pain... the pain... its always pain. I just dont want to feel anything anymore. I just got out of school on my last day i got into a fight with one of my classmates for bullying me for the whole year. Calling me gay, annoying, dumb and things i didnt understand. I have had anger issues from a young age. Every time i was angry blood would rush to my head and here a low ring. I lived on a farm, my mother had a boyfriend she wanted to marry but he didnt want to marry her back. I took care of horse's, i was outside almost all the time. Her boyfriend David had a temper that got set of almost as easy as an avalanche. One scope of horse feed and one scope of corn. I did that he comes home and says "luke!" in an angry voice i heard him grab something with a chim. I start to cry i lock my door and hide in my closet. He breaks my door and walks to the closest and slams the door open. And yells at me saying i didnt feed his animals. He had the whip he used on the horse's in his right hand.
