The Heartbreak Prescription

George's grip tightened. With a tearing sound, Wendy's collar was ripped open, exposing her delicate, pale skin to

the cold air.

A wave of memories hit Wendy, taking her back to years age, in a similar cave, where she had been pinned beneath George. The foul stench of his body pressed down on her, and helplessness and fear engulfed her like a tidal wave. She felt as though she was suffocating, as though she was about to die.

That young version of Wendy had been so close to death.

She had grown up in some ways, but in other ways, she hadn't. She still longed for Stanley to come for her.

Deep down, she knew he would never come.
