Amatucci Family

Sucking in a deep breath, I set my nails to my skin and pushed against the butterfly bandaged flesh. Sliced. Clawed. Anything and everything I could do. I had to remove that electrode. I wouldn't let him win. Not like this. Not when I was so close to freedom. 


For myself. For those other women and girls. 


The pain suffused my mind as the white noise of blessed overstimulation curled around me. I broke the skin. Kept digging. 


My fingers slipped and slid over my skin as blood rose to the surface. I breathed through my mouth to keep any sounds from drifting. From pulling the monster any closer to me. 


Head starting to spin, I pushed my fingers deeper. I just needed enough space to hook my nail under it. Grab a wire and yank. 


A shoe scuffed the floor near where I sat. 


I bit my lip as my middle finger grazed the foreign material. I sank my nail under the edge of the wire and pulled up.
