P.S.
If this is really fiction, congratulations! You are a natural born writer.

IS it fiction? Or is fictionalizing what happened one of the safe ways of dealing with an ugly truth. It sure read like truth to me.

Here’s what I would do. Take the letch aside. Tell him you are on to him and if anything untoward ever happens again, even in your imagination, you are going to blow the whistle so loudly his ears will ring for the rest of his life. And then, if necessary, do it. Never let your children be alone with Grandpa. Ever. And if he so much as looks at you with lust or longing, go straight to your husband and tell him everything. You owe it to yourself and your children if you have been abused, which I believe you have.

Good luck.

wow! Good thing that this was only fiction. I really felt the emotions and I have totally thought that this was real if the other peeps didn’t commented that this was only fiction.

Excellent writing!

A similar thing happened to me many years ago at a friends’ home. I was there for a few days and her dad, father of a dozen children, married forever to the same woman, made definite passes to me. Was I going to tell my friend? Nope. I left the house a day earlier and made sure I was never alone with the man after that.
Up to that point, I was adamant that had I been in a situation like that I would have told EVERYONE what happened. But once it happened, I understood the hesitancy to say anything.

Great writing, May. Like PD Warrior, I wouldn’t have known it was fiction.

Nice writing. I would have never known it was fiction if I hadn’t read the title first. You did a great job handling two very emotional and sometimes controversial subjects- rape and suicide.

Some things cannot be dismissed. They must be seriously and thoroughly considered.
