If you yearn to make a change and end years of abuse and toxicity, then you are already a step ahead of your abuser.

After she’s heard all of the details, she left the big house and returned to her small house where she began to pack.

Bryn felt sickened as he felt the ground shake, knowing that one of the two shafts had collapsed. Now, he stood in the pump room and watched the two thrumming pumps as they pulled water out of the deep mines.
