Every morning at six a.m. Kim and Kam's father barges into their room.
"Get up you maggots. What are you still sleeping? I thought I told you two bastard to get up," their father screamed.
Kim and Kam got up.
"What took you so damn long? Well, get dressed and do your chores, miserable faggots," their father screamed.
Their father had never been kind to them. When their mom was around, he pretended like he loved them. But, after their mother died in a car accident, it's been nothing but hell.
First they washed the dishes. If their father found even one small stain still on the dishes he would whip them.
"Who washed this dish?" their father screamed. Kam walked up. His father took a whip and smacked Kam's bottom.
But, Kim knew it was here turn. Their father always said that twins should share each other's pain, so he would do the same thing to Kim.
"Kim, get the hell over here!" their father screamed. Kim, knowing what was about to happen, walked over to their father, who whipped her twenty times on the bottom.
Then, they went to school, the only safe haven from their father. Once or twice, they thought about calling the police about their father.
But, if he got arrested, where would they go? He was the only family they had left.
Then, when they got back from school, their father made them do math problems. But the problem was, that they were college-level math problems. Then, their father would whip them once for every problem they got wrong.
They would stay up all night if they had to just to correct the math problems they got wrong. Then, if they did manage to go to sleep, their father wouldn't let them just peacefully fall asleep.
He would whip them to sleep. Sometimes they would fake sleep after just forty whacks so he would leave them alone.
They were careful not to fall asleep at the same time or close to the same time because then their father would find out that they fake fall asleep.
Kam was selfless, he would let Kim fake sleep first and take many more whips than Kim. Sometimes, she told Kam to fake fall asleep first. That was at school, never would they talk about that with their father around.
And report card days were the worst. If they got anything under a 97, they would get seventy whippings.
And sometimes he whipped them for stuff that wasn't their fault, such as the music at their concerts not being classical. Their father didn't believe in modern hip-hop, jazz, rap, rock 'n' roll, etc. He only believed in classical music.
Then, one day, when they got back from school, a police car was in their driveway. They saw the police taking their father into the car.
But, at that moment, their father broke free and gave Kim a black eye and gave Kam a bloody nose.
In trial, Kim and Kam felt safe from their father. They told the judge and jury exactly what their father did to them.
They could see their father's face getting swelling with anger with each word. He was sentenced to 25 to 30 years in prison with no chance of parole.
Kim and Kam, worried about where to go moved in with Madison, their next-door neighbor and friend from school.
Kim and Kam never found out who called the police to tell them about their father.
It was someone who had overheard them talking about their problems at lunch that day.
