Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist)

“Stop it.” Katrina struggled against the man who pushed her to the floor. She could hear her friend and the male she was with grunting with enjoyment.

“I said stop. Stop! I don’t want to.”  The man pinned her down and her tiny frame was no resistance to the man intent on pleasuring himself. 

Spent, the man collapsed, ignoring her.  Sobbing, Katrina crawled away, longing for the cleansing shower although nothing would make her whole again. She felt dirty, used. She’d saved herself. For what? 

Katrina inhaled deeply. She had choices. This wouldn’t destroy the rest of her life.
