Always

A heavy tread, a growling laugh

A burst of air as fury steps inside

A flick of a light, a slam of a door

Slurred voice rising to a raging roar

Thuds and moans 

Shouts and screams

Ears covered as terror breaks free

A shaking paper

A blinding sheet

Carelessly opened to dripping Ds

A strap of leather

Red and brown

Worn from a thousand countless flogs

Smashing bottles

Sparks fall

An empty house with shaking walls
