Collared

by Stephen E. Scott

Childhood innocence is precious, special. Few of us if asked, would remember when we lost that innocence, when we became aware of the unpleasant, nasty side or worse; the sordid, disgusting or disturbed side of human nature. Unfortunately Natalie can and she has lived with those memories and that realisation for years after she learnt the difference between good and bad, right and wrong, compassion and compulsion. Few of us ever get the chance to avenge the transgressions against us. Fortunately Natalie will. After returning home from a pub birthday party, Natalie senses something is different in her home. She will have to use her wits and control her fear as she faces the history of her childhood. Over the next few intense days, Natalie relives her past in the opposite way to how she had to endure it when she was a child. Natalie's revenge has no mercy, no compassion as she and others like her, take retribution. Innocence has no place when her past catches up with her and becomes the present and the future for the person who ripped her childhood innocence away.
