Chapter 5 - David

One of mothers drunken nights had led to a very bad accident! Mother told me that I only had a certain amount of time to get the dishes done or she was going to kill me. She reached for a knife and was swinging it around in her hand, as my brother grabbed her leg and she lost her balance. I felt a horrible pain in my stomach, mother had stabbed me. I was bleeding really bad, mother rapped me up in gauze and still made me do the dishes. I was so week, and in so much pain I could barely move. When i finished the dishes which took me over an hour, I went downstairs I laid on my cot and through the pain slowly drifted off to sleep, mother woke me in the middle of the night  and cleaned me up, she was being nice for a change.
