New Morning, A New Day

I wrote this awhile ago on my Phelan page on Facebook. I had a terrible dream the other night--- this is what became of it by  Phelan W. Moon  on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 1:18pm "I wasn't running my mouth again, I swear!" He raised his hand to strike her again.  She shielded her face, but wasn't able to protet her back.  He knew she didn't like to wear clothing revealing her back, so it was his favorite place to hit her.  He brought his hand down only to stop just before making contact; quickly he moved and picked up a rolling pin, bringing it down on the middle of her back.  He could see her fat rolls jiggle and the sight delighted him.
