Into The Abyss(Undying Love)
Imagine an unfortunate victim attempting to rescue himself from a dungeon or a hole or the basement of an old, dilapidated building everytime he realizes that his abductors are already sawing wood, their limbs looking lifeless and their eyes shut tight as if in a trance.
He goes ahead to steal one of their daggers lying on the ground, and then cuts off the ropes he's tied with, meticulously, and quietly enough.
He's finally free and then creeps out of the building, climbing fences and tall trees, his legs tugging at thorns but he keeps trying his best to escape.
He sees the town in a distance after running for hours.
He heaves a sigh of relief, only to fall straight into the arms of another one of them, waiting at the gates for any victim wanting to escape.
What do you do to save your head when that thing you thought you're finally free from, pops its ugly head and jeers at you and you keep running into it on your way out?
A South African-American teenager, Ashley Amahle Butler has all her life, served punishments which should only be meted out to offenders despite not being a criminal.
Running was not easy but it was her only option, and the more she ran, the more she sank into the abyss of life.
She was going to get a new beginning somewhere else, and stop living as a victim.
She had just one supporter in the whole wide world who wanted to give her that newness her soul craved.
Eventually, she did get a new beginning but it was far from her wildest expectations.
Find out if Ashley slipped into the sweet by and by, or made it out of the abyss with her scars.
