Prologue

Amy Stone lay in bed that night, the covers pulled up to her chin. She heard a shuffling in the hallway and tightly closed her eyes. Her door opened. It was her uncle. It had to be. For the last few years, ever since she was about 8 years old, he would come into the room and do things to her. She was now 16. Amy learned that if she just pretended to be asleep, he just touched her and then left. She felt the covers tugging down to the foot of the bed.

'Damnit, can't he just leave me the fuck alone? At least it will be over quickly.' She closed her eyes again and pretended to be asleep so that her uncle would not do anything worse to her than just touch her. She felt her uncle shaking her shoulder.

"Amy, Wake up, it's time for your goodnight kiss. Come on Amy. This shouldn't hurt too badly. There's my girl."

An hour or so later, Amy slid down to the floor and reached into her bag. She took a razor out of her bag, and held it to her arm. She took a deep, shuddering breath, and pushed down hard and dragged the razor across her arm. Afterwards she took it into the bathroom and cleaned it. When she was finished, she went back into her room, shut and locked the door, and sat down on the floor and cried.
