Setbacks

It’s about to go too far.

You’re a girl in a man’s world, and you’ve seen a lot of it. It’s not new to you: the unwanted touches, the hurtful, frightening whispers, and the constant anticipation of helplessness have all been with you since the day you learned what the emptiness between your legs really meant.

But as much as you have hated all of it, you’ve still found a way to make a life within the indignity. You’ve built dreams from ashes and found purpose in the construction. You have survived.

Until tonight, when your ex knocked on the door and then shoved his way inside. When he dragged you to the basement and tied you up. When he looked deeply into your eyes and told you all the things he would do to you as retribution for all that had ever been done to him.

Now, things are about to happen that you won’t be able to rationalize or ignore. You’re going to be treated like just the sort of girl you were certain you’d never become. And you’re going to finally see that everything about you that isn’t a cunt can be taken away in an instant, all by a single, angry man.

Yes, it’s about to go too far.
