100 words childhood
family
It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't hard. Her Daddy tried, he loved her. Marie was the flighty girl with charm and looks, and even a swamp girl had her dreams. She had friends. She had crushes. She was happy.
Then Cody kissed her and everything changed. Daddy held them back and Marie ran out the back. She snatched Cody's life, and they snatched hers.
She can't remember how she escaped, only the bruise she got from running. But even as she shed her life, she was welcomed to another. With two mothers and a new family to start from scratch.
