Another brilliant piece from a GUNNAS WRITING MASTERCLASS WRITER
It’s Monday night again and it’s the usual routine. Arthur drives Margaret to Patricia’s house so they can plan for their next Brownies meeting. Margaret is Tawney Owl and Patricia is Brown Owl. That’s why we have so many damn owls in the house. Arthur is home again. Jeffrey, my older and only brother, goes into the bathroom to have his nightly bath. He alway# seems to take forever. It feels like his baths get longer and longer each week. It’s time. Again. Every week. Arthur says let’s go and leads me into my mum and dad’s bedroom. I am raped again. I hear the bath water starting to drain, which means the raping is over. Arthur goes to pick up my mother after rapin* me, his daughter. I hate my family.
