CHAPTER 169: Military Dogs

DEAR BULLY

-Anonymous

Dear Bully,

A proud, strong, independent young woman.

Victim.

These things don't seem to belong together.

They almost seem oxymoronic.

But that's because they are oxymoronic, and thanks to you, they are now the words I use to describe myself.

As a logical thinker, I have always known that fear is only temporary.

But that was before I learned just how much your glare can induce it.

Just how quickly a whisper can make my heart race.

Just how hard my tears can fall.

I always prided myself on being the type of person to work things out with words.
