New excerpt: Chapter one


The blood was all over the rug, it was a rainy day that May evening.  I could still here the loud 
shots as I layed on the ground, knocked unconscious.   As I tried to open up my eyes, I tried to 
recall.  what had led me to this moment. 
Immediately, I felt my thoughts getting away with me.  
 “ My Keyla, Please baby girl, be okay” !    
Suddenly, I could not breath, “ Oh I thought to myself it finally has happened!   As I started to try 
and open my eyes, I heard and officer’s voice calling me. 
At first all I heard was really muffled, for a second there I thought I was going deaf. 
Then my thoughts went back to earlier in the evening. 
“ Sadie, Please, calm down! Please put the gun down”!
   I thought to myself what was going on, am I dreaming, is this for real, what happened?   I kept 
trying to scream, but I felt so weak.  
“ Help me! Help me! please “ Help me”!
 “ Sadie, please, please, stop this, “ I am begging you”!
Mam!, Mam!,  called a man’s voice. 
“ Can you hear me, mam, the man, called out to her once again. 
“ Ah, yes I said trying to stay calm.   
“Good, he said in a calming tone. 
  As he continued speaking, I was in and out of consciousness.    
  I thought of happier times.   I began to see my daughter’s precious face and how happy she 
made me.   However, it was then that I began to gain this horrible feeling inside of me.

Excerpt of Battered Mind Chapter 1

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 very  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 w...

Excerpt : John Marshall Law School

The day finally arrived.  I  was going to be attending John Marshall Law School in Atlanta.    This was one of the proudest moments of my father’s life.   He was absolutely thrilled, that his  only child, a daughter had been accepted.    This made my father very happy and he just thought  it was so poetic, that I would soon be a member of such an elite group as he was.  After all, my father Jackson Martin had been an alumni of John Marshall Law School and  maintained a perfect 4.0 gpa and had been one of the top in his class.   He always wanted  to keep his legacy going and now all eyes were on me.    I was excited in being able to finally start at John Marshall so that I could finally have my  freedom or so I thought. You see my father did not like the fact that I had chosen to live with my boyfriend Dante  Caryle.  He was furious and always had his re...
