- you're around ten years old in this memory, tucked into your bed at night - but you can't sleep.

- somewhere in your house, you hear noises. it scares you, but it doesn't really alarm you - it's a sound you're used to by now. heavy, quick footsteps, the snarling of a beast. normally you would call for your parents, but from a cry of pain, you realize they're already taking care of it.

- you curl up a little bit more, putting your pillow over your head to try and shut out the noises as you hear a scream from your mother.

- the memory ends without you going to see what the damage is this time.
