Little Stella hid in the closet at the end of the hall while her mother screamed at her. “You lousy little brat. You interrupted me and my man while we were screwing! Damn you!”
When she found Stella, she grabbed her and threw her on the bed. Using a leather belt, she beat the girl until she bled. Stella pleaded for her father to help, but he just sat there watching.
He uttered under his breath “That’s enough already, you are hurting her!”
“Fuck off, you coward” she replied.
He shut up quickly.
This is why Stella hated weak men.

Oh dear! No wonder she killed her father… He didn’t protect her. I hate such people, who abuse a little girl so.

I think there are reasons for what makes a killer… hmm similar stories this week
great minds think alike, ‘eh?
Tragic, but this happens all too often in real life. Great use of show vs. tell.
Poor little girl
Well isn’t she… an attractive person.
Like mother like daughter – interesting piece.
A powerful series. Her past has very much shaped the woman she has grown into. I hope she doesn’t kill too many more men before the police work out that she’s actually to blame.
Very chilling. It’s not always men who are the violent ones in the family.
