The little boy sits crouched down in the corner he watches silently as a roach crawls across the floor he wipes his tear streaked face and stare silently at her she is lying on the bed she holds a hand pistol in her hand mommy what are you doing are we going to play cops and robbers SHUT UP!!!!! how many times do I have to tell you I’m sorry mommy why are you mad what did I do He starts crying again places his hands over his little face she walks over to him and holds him in her arms I’m sorry little man I won’t let anyone harm us again She tells him its ok they are going to play a little game I want you to go and hide and Im going to do the same Our we hiding from the robbers mommy the bad guys yes son the bad bad guy now you go hide and I will be right there He smiles happily and runs to the closet He will never find me here mommy he wont know where I am she smiles little man wait right here he covers his ears as the gun shots go off and he hears loud screams
