Gingerly, she
checked her jaw, sliding it left, then right.
She told herself every time to act scared, lower her
head, but she never did. Her tilted up chin was just too tempting a target for
his anger.
It was a miracle that she still had all her teeth.
Over time, her jaws started popping, becoming more
loose with every blow.
One night it finally happened, and she smiled to
herself.
He never saw the blow from behind coming, and the
sledgehammer made a satisfying sound- like smashing a frozen watermelon.
Her jaws unhinged like a snake, and he disappeared.
