Sadie Carlyle awoke in a state of despair when she finally opened her eyes, and noticed that
she was lying in what appeared to be a large hospital bed. Then, she immediately began
screaming very loudly. She was so out of control that a strong sedative was required to calm her
down. Her long red hair looked so dry, as the sedative took immediate effect. It was not too
long before her greenish eyes began to close again, her skin looked so pale as the nurse applied
a soft pillow under her neck. This had been an intense few days for Sadie. Her emotions
were running so high that you could see the puffiness in her swollen eyes from all the non-stop
crying. It was so hard to believe that Sadie was once a very attractive green eyed
red head that captivated a room with her profound beauty. After a few minutes the nurse noticed
that Sadie was bleeding from her nose. As this was going on, the nurse quickly called the
doctor . In the meantime Sadie still asleep began to let her mind get whisked away.
“Here he comes again screaming at me always terrifying me why
can’t he see that he is hurting me”.
Mrs. Carlyle , Mrs. Carlyle called a man in a dark suit. Suddenly, Sadie was no longer in
the hospital bed. She was in a courtroom. Her heart was racing and she appeared
very agitated and confused. However, she decided to take a deep breath to calm her
nerves.
“Sadness is approaching it feels very dark- I feel it pulling me closer
to the end of a cliff and then I am drowning.”
Can you please answer the question now, said the impatient District Attorney. As he
paced back and forth you could hear the silence in the packed room. She tried to stay
focus and not let her thoughts run away with her again. “Well, Ms. Carlyle,” he stated
once more. Sadie took a deep breath and then said, “Yes I am so sorry Mr. Mason”,
she began to say said in a rather soft and apologetic tone.
“ Please forgive me, again she said. “ You see I am rather nervous being up here and
talking about such a traumatic event and I was letting my nerves run away with me, Do
you mind repeating the question? He paused and then once again asked, “ What
happened on the night of May 27, 2009...? “Now I hope that was clear enough for you
he added in a more sarcastic tone. Charles Mason had been a District Attorney for the
State of North Carolina for 16 years now and he was known to win all of his cases. The
man had been divorced three times and finally said that he just was not going to let a
woman bury him, even if it meant he end up alone. However, he was fair in matters of
the law and just wanted to get to the truth. “ Well, on the day you
are referring to, Sadie continued and then after a brief pause then blurted out “ I killed
my husband in self-defense”. As she said that, the court room went into a big uproar.
This is when the presiding Judge Vicente Mikos knocked on his gavel and asked
everyone to quiet down. “ Please, Silence he urged. “ Now, please continue
Ms. Carlyle. Again, She began to let her thoughts get away from her again.
