Hello @fonpet,

You deal sensitively with a serious issue in this story (which is not related to the weekly fiction prompt, Bicycle). Domestic abuse is a topic we don't encourage in the Inkwell. Although you do not included graphic details, still it is a very difficult issue for many readers and may trigger an emotional reaction.

However, you do handle this with sensitivity. The end of the story is especially devastating because it is something that happens all the time. The cycle of abuse is hard to break once a victim is ensnared.

Thank you for sharing this with us. However, in the future please refrain from stories that deal with graphic violence, harm to children or pets, and domestic abuse.
