The Demon –Â Fiction Writing Challenge – #FridayFotoFiction
She can breathe now. She was free.
Free from the clutches of the demon.
Years of agony had made her a stone.
If they want to take me away – so be it. If they hang me now – so be it. I have nothing to lose anymore. She thought as she sat amidst the ruins.
When he entered the room tonight, drunk, she knew she could do it today. All she needed was the lighter! She was lucky he was completely sloshed today while he forced himself on her, yet again.
For a minute she managed to gather enough strength to strangle him with her shackles. As he burnt in the fire, she let out a scream. She had finally defeated the demon, the demon who was her father. The demon who kept her alive in restraints in the cellar for seven years! Seven years that ruined her life forever.

Such demons deserve to be burnt as early as found .It’s sad that he spoiled her seven years but it’s gud she finally found the strength to get free
I have just heard these things happen in which the father rapes his own daughter.
If a scream let her free after 7 years, I guess it was late.
7 years! too long to be shackled. Sad tale. Though she managed to free herself with fire. I think she is burnt forever,
A torture that comes to an end. Finally.
Thats a terrible thing- I recall reading about a few real life incidents where the father had imprisioned the mother and daughters. Glad she broke free
Ugh! such demons ruin so many innocent lives without any remorse and She shouldnt feel any guilt or shame in doing it to make her life meaningful again!
I read an incident of a father doing this to his daughter for soo long, I teared up. But reading this, the scream reverberated in my me too. When will it be more spoken about and put an end too?
So sad and creepy .. death is the least worthy punishment for such people.
Some lives are wasted at the hands of monsters. Oh, what a heart breaking tale.
Sad that today the protector turns predator. God save all from such perverts.
It’s horrendous to see fathers indulging in such activities when a father is considered the savior, the caretaker, the protector of his children. I wish she did what she did much earlier. Nevertheless, m glad she found the courage to break from the clutches. better late than never.
Heart-wrenching story, but glad you ended it on a positive note. I hope she finds her peace and her wounds heal with time

That’s a painful saga. Some scars are forever.
[…] it with Tina and Mayuri for […]
This is wonderful initiative!! I will participate in the coming weeks!!
Will be awaiting your story Hiral.
Such demons should be burned alive. Thank God she got the courage and freedom from such torture.
Many such drmons are prowling around in shape of ‘trustworthy’ relations.
Such a scary story. The world is indeed a dark place if these monsters abound. Well written, Tina.
