Took me far into the woods and we struggled to make our way through the dark forest , I could smell the wood burning in one of those old timey black cooking stoves my Granny had , as i got closer to the fire I could see my shadow in front of us as the flashlight was behind me and him.He was walking close behind , He would take me into the woulds every fall to gather wood for our trailer. My mother would wait in the car as we girls went to hunt for a safe area to load up, cut down . and stack wood in the back of pops truck , After my hands had many blisters and much pain , he would yell at us that we did not stack the wood correctly and would re-stack the whole truck and yell at my mother how worthless we where , We weren't his kids so he never gave a shit about us. That night, as we started to leave down a narrow road, that i was not familiar with .....He stopped the car turned to me and said get out ... but he said it so quietly almost like a whisper as to not wake mother or my sister . I asked "why" he said you will see. well for fucks sake i was freaked out at this point i started to yell for my mother and sister , but for some reasons i could not speak , he kept pointing to me to get out.....that is when i saw it ...i stepped out of the truck , jumping as it was a big truck in fact . There was a shed far in the distance he was sending me to , i had tears in my eyes so i was walking and with my arms crossed in anger .I looked back and they were gone ....they had left me in the woods all alone ....So i thought ......TBC...
