~Three Ps ~

This is a true story about a little girl who was killed by abuse.

There was once a little girl, only 6 years old, with no mother, a baby brother, and an abusive father. Her father was a drunkard, the baby had colic.The dad was also a druggie.She was the cook, the maid, the nanny, the punching bag. Her father always threatened that if she didn't do something, he would do the three Ps. "If you mess , I'll punch you 100 times extra. If you mess gain, I'll puncture you're skin with my blade. If you screw up again,both and poison."
She had one friend--A tiny bear. After each horrible night of tending the baby, cleaning the house,getting stung by her wrists to be punched, she would silently cry, whispering dreams and hopes into it's ears. One day, she saw a stream in the backyard. "Oh! What fun! Let's go play, Bear!" She called out. So, she put the child to sleep, and played in the stream. Only ten minutes later, she hopped out, and cleaned the house, while talking to Bear. "I love that stream. I was a mermaid, swimming around, splashing about.Why, I swam like there was no tommorow! Wanna know a secret, Bear? Mommy got cremated...She went bye-bye...Into the stream. One day, I want to go with her!"
She went with her much sooner than hoped.
That night, her father returned, furious he got a ticket for being drunk. He hurled 2 teacups at the baby. As a result, it wailed. With a triumphant, smug look, he gripped the little girl, and dragged her downstairs. There, he strung her up, and punched her many times, until she had bruises on her bruises. Then, he whipped her down, and drew intricate designs all over her sensitive spots, mostly her back, chest, hands and feet. For his finale, he grabbed 3 bottles of rat poison, and shoved it down her throat. Luckily, the neighbors called the police. The father was about to leave when he was tackled and shacked.
The girl crawled to her bedroom, and took Bear in her arms. "Bear, It's my time to go. Do you want to come? I'm going with Mommy now." She sobbed. "Bear..You do want to come? Thanks.. You're my best friend..Even right until the end.."With a final gaze around the room, she whispered to the sky,"Mommy,we're coming home." With that, she crumpled onto the floor, Bear still in her arms.
