His mother tried to take him to a therapist for anger control. He shouted madly and ignored her. Being a single mother was proving difficult.
But, his sister would patiently tape each hole. One day a shard hit her in one eye. She was blinded. After returning from the hospital she put two black duct tapes to remind him of the pain his actions had caused her and their mother.
That day he agreed to visit a therapist.

ReplyDeleteyes it is...
DeleteA shame it took such an incident to make him see he needed help.
ReplyDeleteBut he realized, before he wrecked more havoc!
DeleteIf only he'd agreed earlier.

I'm with Iain, what a shame.
ReplyDeleteShame of course, but he realized in the end...I think he has taken a step in the right direction, though late
DeleteYou've crafted such a powerful, yet understated story. Well done!

Thanks Susan!
DeleteDear Kislaya,
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity he had to cause some serious damage before being ready to seek help. Glad he did, though. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle! Glad he did...before causing more damage.
DeleteToo bad only a permanent damage to his sister's eye could convince him to seek help. Nice take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteYes that is bad, but better late than never.
DeleteThanks for reading!
