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 : Battered Mind Prologue

Sadie sat on her hospital bed wondering how she got there.   She looked  all around the large room, and began to place her arm on the cold metal brass of the  bed.   She noticed how the nurses would come in and out the door.  As she layed,  there quietly, her heart began to race rather rapidly.  It only took a few minutes before  all that had transpired the night before came back to her.   Suddenly, she began to  scream very loudly.    The loud screams overwhelmed the entire floor.   It did not take very long for the  hospital staff to come into her room.  As they tried to calm Sadie down, she tried to  get away by kicking and trying to bite the nurses in the room.  After a period of what seemed forever, a male nurse came in and gave her a sedative to  calm her down.    Sadie again seemed like she was in another world.  She could not  ...
