It was the most terrifying whisper she has ever heard. The small window -- her freedom -- is too small.
"N-n-no! Please stop..." , as she curled herself into the far corner of the bathroom.
When the door latch turned slowly, all she can do is close her eyes and whimpered, "please..."

This is scary and terrible... but terrific too!
I pictured a battered wife, but it surely could have been a child. Very scary. Hard to imagine but I know this happens a lot. How sad.

I'm so glad you were limited to 55 words. Wife or child, in either case it's horrifying.
I'm with Brian...creepy cool. A great fiction and in 55 just like G-man wants. Loved it and thanks for stopping by my 55.
