EXCERPT from Fire featured in the new book SCARS, now available on Amazon and Createspace: By then I was big, but still scared of his power and his whiskey breath and scratchy beard, and I ran, but he punched and threw me to the ground, and as I felt the fire between my legs, I looked up and saw Mama in the hallway crying on her knees. She didn’t last long after that; one morning before dawn I heard silence and knew her breath had stopped and saw blood in the corners of her lips, and her eyes were an empty shell, and next thing I really knew we were burying her down at the church yard.
