the fight against hell

preface

Far away in the city of Ava, a baby was born. Her name was Rozelle. During birth, her mother died unexpectedly. It was extremely painful to Rozelle knowing her mother had died. Everyone laughed at her and called her names like the motherless child. They kept teasing Rozelle; “Rozelle Rozelle with the mother that couldn’t tell if she was a squirrel or a girl”the school students shouted. Rozelle ran inside the school. With every step tears poured out of her gorgeous sapphire eyes she hid under a desk in an attempt to shield her ears from the hurtful words. Sadly Rozelle’s attempt was in vain her heart was pounding like an African drum and her eyes let out pools of tears as she heard the kids yelling that her mother didn’t want her. She tried to imagine that she was in a mythical place far from Ava,far from her sorrow. She was awaken from this fantasy by a loud noise and an aching pain she located the injured area and found a  little blood. Rozelle looked down beside herself and found a rock. Rozelle ducked as rocks started flying passed her head,barely missing her scarlet hair.one night Rozelle woke up from a bad dream. In the nightmare the kids from school were right and her mother didn’t love her.  She was so stressed out, that as soon as it was light out, she snuck into the kitchen and grabbed a knife. She slowly slid the knife into her abdomen. A second later she was out cold lying on the floor with a bloody blade in her stomach as blood spewed out everywhere. Her last words were written in a note on the kitchen counter. The note read,

Dear Dad,

    I am sorry you had to see me like this, but I am just so sick and tired of being bullied at school. I know you tried to help me,but it was so hard.They hit the last straw today at lunch when they told me no one loved me. I’m sorry!

                                 love,your little angel, Rozelle

Rozelle's father fell to the ground and wept.

“No! No!” Rozelle's father said as he held the lifeless corpse of his beloved daughter.
