The last thing that Sarah heard before falling from the heights was Lady's shriek of horror.
She had been pushed aside with enough force to get her staggering in her steps until she hit the metal handrails. Her eyes bulged wide, her lips parted. She had wanted to scream out loud but had felt too shocked to do so.
Then, Sarah descends.
It's like the world has come to a still, paving way for cold, dead silence. Anything that could've kept her up was out of her reach. In the blink of an eye, she's diving through the air. That's when her life seems to flash through her eyes.
Along comes her mother's words.
'You're nothing but a deadweight to me, you piece of trash.'
'The only thing that can help you live in this world is a man.'
'Learn from me, dear. Kindness won't get you anywhere."
