Lexie's Story

By Trish Jackson

Lexie KIng's childhood sucked. When she wasn't lying in in her bed at night waiting for 'the monster', she was hiding from the bullies at school. It was like she had a sign on her forehead that said "Abuse Me."

Lexie's parents died in a car crash when she was too young to remember, and Aunt Jess refuses to believe that her live-in lover, Phillip could be molesting Lexie.

An ugly mutt named Candy -- a cross between a boxer and a standard poodle -- is Lexie's only friend in the world.

She sometimes thinks about ending her life, but revenge would be so much sweeter.

This short story is the prequel to Virgo's Vice.

She moved to the U.S. in 1990, loves country living, horse riding, chocolate and all animals. Trish's passion is helping the innocents of the world - children, the elderly, the mentally challenged, and animals. Her stories are set in small towns, where the people enjoy country values, and the pace of life is a little slower, and her characters always include the four-legged kind.

Part 1

They say the human mind has its own safety app. If something happens to you that’s just too hard to handle, you forget about it.

That's what they say, but I just wish I knew how to activate the app, because it hasn't worked that way for me.
