Drunken FURY

By: Elias Dorsey

Narrator: It was a cold winter’s night at the Boller household. When Jenna was still young and her family wasn’t broken apart. She had gone with her father to the liquor store where he always seemed to glow and act positive. Jenna knew that was going to change when they got home. Her father is an alcoholic, and when he starts drinking, he doesn’t stop until he’s passed out.

Jenna: Why are we at this store daddy?

Jim:  We’re buying my drinks Jenna girl.

Jenna: What kind of drinks?

Jim: Please don’t ask any more questions Jenna.

Jenna: Ooookay.

*In the car on their way home*

*Jim pulls out a bottle of whiskey, opens the cap, and takes a couple swigs*

Jenna: What’s in that bottle daddy?

Jim: WHAT DID I TELL YOU AT THE STORE JENNA?

*Jenna cowers in the corner of the backseat*

*At home, Jenna’s in her room, while Jim is downstairs watching television*

*Jenna hears yelling and banging downstairs, she knew her mother was home*

*She sneaks to the stairs and watches in terror as her mother is abused after getting home from her work, by her drunken father*

Jenna: MOM!!!!!!!!!!

*Jim turns head slowly toward Jenna while her mother slinks to the floor crying*

Jim: Didn’t I tell you to stay upstairs?

*Jim starts running up the stairs and grabs Jenna and throws her onto her bed, then proceeds to whip her with a belt*
