It was raining outside. The cold air was freezing his window and the wind blow out of the clouds making some strange noises through the entire house, noises that were even worse than that ofhis child imagination.
“Mom”
He wanted to scream, but could just whisper, as if a scream would give his position to the monster outside.
“Mom, please.”
Marc’s life was always surrounded by fear. When he was just 4 years old, his father left to live with another woman and because of that his mother, Sarah, went down. They lived only with the small pension his father sent every month because Sarah spent her money on beer and strange cigarettes.
The only thing that helped Marc was his sister Jane, a sweet 18 year old girl.
Jane slept in the bedroom next to his and somehow always knew when Marc was up and afraid. But today she was not coming.
“Please, Jane, come in here”, he continued to whisper.
It was then that he heard a super loud noise. It sounded like the noise his mother always made when she arrived home drunk. When she threw things at the wall. Marc learned that every time she did that, she spanked him. He tried to hide underneath his blankets.
“Jane, she is coming”
The noise stopped. He could hear steps outside his door.
“It’s her. She is drunk, Jane. Help me”
Someone opened the door. Now Marc could only pray for it not to hurt so much.
“Marc, it's ok sweetie”
It was Jane.
Marc threw his blankets to the ground and run to embrace her. Only then did he see she was all dirtyfrom a thick, dark some liquid. She smelled.
“What is it?”
Jane smiled at him and put his hair behind his ear.
“It’s ok now, buddy. She won’t spank you anymore. I’m gonna take care of you now and I promise you will be the happiest kid in the world”
For some reason Marc never saw his mom after that. He still doesn't know what was that liquid in Jane or why after that scene in his bedroom, as soon as the rain stopped, Jane said she needed to cave. He decided it just didn’t matter. After all he was happy.
