Rain lashes against the cracked foundation of the house. Inside the damp basement, a teenager cowers in shadows, her body bruised from Dimitri’s cruelty. For years, he has been her demon, feeding her crumbs and punishing escape attempts with darkness. But tonight, the storm masks a miracle: the heavy iron door stands ajar. Moonlight slices through the gloom. She trembles, fear gripping her throat, as she crawls toward the sliver of freedom. Her heart hammers against her ribs, a frantic drumbeat of survival. She sprints into the night, leaving hell behind.
