I didn’t feel like I was that high up but it was too rocky to risk falling. I grabbed the child and handed him up to his father, waiting above. Then I looked up for help… to see him. “Oh, you want help now, huh?” He sneered. I tried to pull myself up without him but the ground crumbled alarmingly. I needed him. I hated him and I needed him. “Please,” I whispered through gritted teeth.
He shook his head and walked away.
