"Boy! Get your ass in here!"
Kai sat alone in the comer of his room. His legs pulled tightly to himself with his head resting on his knees. The devil is home. He thought. She's going to check.
He got up right away knowing he would get a good beating if he didn't get down right away. Fear consumed him as he made his way down the stairs. Her blue eyes piercing into his soul like a cold dagger. A very cold dagger. He could see the Popsicle stick she griped in her hand as he came face to face with his mother.
"Open wide dog!" she commanded as he obeyed. He's short, small, fragile, skinny, very skinny in fact. Every rib could be displayed on his body. She shoved the popsicle stick as far down his throat as she could till he began to gag furiously and dry heave. Nothing came up from his stomach as she pulled the stick away.
