I watched this recently and I think it’s a must see. It’s based on a true story of a serial rapist in places I have lived. It is not graphic, but very disturbing. I have seen warnings on other sites about triggers–I dont know if this is one, but a warning here just in case.
It was horrifying to see how this 18 year old girl was treated as late as 2008, and I believe as I hope many of you also do, that things should have changed by then. It makes me angry and it should make you angry.

Tiny mind
Evil bones
Playing cards
He doesn’t own
Saw the cheat
Of orange grift
Pressed hands
In false prayer
Lies permeate
Every layer
Don’t buy into his attitude
Realize he must collude
Trump the voters
Or we will lose.

Fall in the air, feeling wistful
Vermont air makes me wishful
Autumn scents cause a stir
And on this page I do concur
You can drink your juice such as Snapple
But nothing compares to a real apple.

“Well, sweetie, I see you went to the same hairdresser I did.”
“Yes, wasn’t he just the bees knees?”
“I don’t know about his knees, I never got that far, but he was a handsome devil.”
“Ooh, he certainly was, and the massage while shampooing my hair, was amazing, I swear, I felt tingles!”
“Tingles? On your scalp?”
“Uh. . .never mind. I loved it, that’s all,” turning red.
The two old women joined the rest of the ladies, similarly coiffed.

Looking up wondering if I should, even if I could, climb the eerie stairs to find. . .what? He had promised no harm and it would be okay, no danger present, no horrible surprise to find; he. . .promised.
I stared at the odd shaped ascension, my nerves jingling, my hair twitching on my scalp. I couldn’t take my eyes off the railing as I clung to it as I moved upward.
Second stair from the top, I hesitated, for the last step would mean commitment. I lift my foot, step up, and suddenly the horror appeared, screaming my name.

A kiss for luck?
No, but good luck.
Bubblegum?
Yes, please.

Tiny dots
Ever circling
Landing in
Brief respite
All in controlled formation
Natural wonder
