Baggage Claim (Part Six)

Genevieve couldn't overcome her paralysis from the memory. She felt as if she had just relived the darkest moment of her life. She felt so numb that she didn't even flinch when the needle pierced her skin once again.
Her mind clouded. She felt him loosen the bonds around her ankles and whisper, “Just like old times, before I dispose of you.”
A tear slipped down Genevieve’s face. She thought this torture had been over. She thought she had been free.
More tears glided down her cheeks as she feebly tried to get away from this monster. Her mind flashed through every night that he forced himself on her. He had said she was his prize after a long day’s work, even though all he did was pass her around to every filthy scumbag with enough money to pay the fee.
Genevieve felt so helpless. After escaping his tyranny, she devoted herself to becoming stronger and unbreakable. She hardened her muscles and the walls around her heart so she could never again be taken advantage of, but here she was, back to this powerless routine.
