She turned her face away. The guards dragged me toward the exit. My injured leg struck against something as they moved me, and pain shot through it. I cried out. "Please! My leg!" "Keep moving," one of them ordered. I tried to explain again, but they refused to listen. When we reached the outside area, they pushed me away from the entrance. I stumbled and nearly fell. "Please, just let me go home," I begged. One of the guards shoved me again. I lost my balance and fell against the ground. Before I could recover, they began striking me. I tried to protect myself as best I could, but my in

The liquid ran down my face, soaking my clothes and spilling over the shopping bags. I stood completely still. For a moment, I couldn't even speak. The handbag was wet. The dress was wet. The cake packaging was stained with the drink. I looked down at everything I had carried so carefully. Then I looked at Vanessa. "Why would you do that?" She folded her arms.
