art school trauma part uhhhhhhn

a classroom. a young girl.

she has forgotten her art supplies. she approaches her teacher to tell him that she is ill prepared.

he is frustrated. he places his hands around her neck,
not intending to hurt,
it is a physical manifestation of his feeling,
not necessarily an inappropriate way to touch a child
assuming that child is your own.

she is silent.

she is much older than expected.

she wakes up, x years later.

there are handprints on her neck.
