Daddy's Girl

"Why couldn't I have had a normal life? Why do you have to be so... you?" / "This is the hand you've been dealt, Sophia. There's nothing you can do about it. Play the game the best you can with the cards you've got. That's all you can do."/ "I don't want to play the game any more, James." I weep and see his look of sympathy, or as close to it as he can get. "You've ruined me."

1. Prologue

"Mum...I'm so sorry..." I aimed the heavy, metallic gun in her direction, my hands trembling with the weight, with the fear, with the guilt. I glanced at my father who's eyes glinted at he smiled proudly. He was proud of his little monster.

"Doit, Sophia." He said as I sobbed quietly. I looked back at my mother who hadn't done anything wrong. This was all my father's doing. She looked so scared, backed against the wall, her mascara running down her cheeks, her light hair sticking to the sweat beads on her forehead.

"Don't,sweetie. Please." She begged me. The look in her eyes would haunt me forever.

Mum or Dad? Right or wrong?

"Doit!" He yelled at me.

So I did.

I killed my own mother.
