    both hands in an attempt to steady myself. I feel my breathing calm down and a grin spread across my face. It’s a picture of me when I was 7‚ cheerfully blowing out candles on a chocolate cake my parents held with my mother standing on my left and my father to my right. “How fitting‚ don’t devils sit on your left shoulder?” I snicker while I hastily tear the photograph in two and fling the side with my mother towards the centre of the room. She deserved it. I saw what she did to Dad. I’ve seen it all
