“There’s nothing I hate more than a whore with a conscience,” came my uncle’s voice as I walked into his house. I had been trying to tiptoe, thinking he would be asleep, but maybe he didn’t sleep. Monsters didn’t need sleep, did they?

He was sitting in his usual seat at the kitchen table, eating a chocolate chip cookie, even though it was five o’clock in the morning.

“Did you think I wouldn’t know that you hid in a bathroom stall all night, Holland?” he asked calmly as he took another bite of cookie. Crunch, crunch, crunch. The sound grated in my ears.

I opened my mouth to respond, but then closed it. What was the use?

“What should your punishment be? I’ll even be benevolent and let you pick it,” he told me. Crunch.

I stuttered, thinking of what I knew I wouldn’t pick. A trip down to the basement. Anything but that.

“Would you rather me pick?” Crunch. I wanted to rip the cookie out of his hand and throw it where he couldn’t reach it. Crunch.

I clenched my fists to prevent myself from sliding my hands over my ears to block out the noise.

“Run along to bed, you’ve got work to do tomorrow. I’ll think on your punishment,” he said, glancing at the clock that hung on the wall. Crunch.

I almost laughed. I wasn’t sure how he expected me to sleep after a night like I had just had. Combine that with the punishment that I was sure awaited me in the morning. Well, it was going to take a lot of concealer to make me presentable for school tomorrow. I left the room.

I didn’t bother to say good night. You didn’t say goodnight to monsters.
