This is part one of a two-part story with Claire. It comes with trigger warnings for its content and graphic descriptions.
I was sent a link with a news segment from the West Coast. The newscasters were showing body cam footage of an intimate partner violence case that would later head into court.
The footage was eerie to watch. It puts you right there outside of the building watching a man deny knowing anything had happened. But eventually, police find Claire in their apartment. Of course, an arrest follows.
Had someone, a passerby, not called for the police, it's uncertain if Claire would have survived further bodily harm from this disgusting man.
The predator who abused Claire had met a target he could manipulate, take complete of, and repeatedly injure. She thought she loved him, and she was prepared to do anything to save the relationship no matter now toxic it became.
This is Claire story.
