My Commission ( Stephanie Opal L...
• Written by AceLai
See, this is one woman's story versus another.
One man can turn two women against each other.
Stephanie Opal Long.
Her Right. No Commission. Her Commission.
This story can trigger one's memories.
Parental Advisory.
She knew it had to stop.
Before he did it to someone else.
All she ever wanted was to be safe.
She went to the gun store.
It was just a simple revolver.
Next week he tried it again.
He pushed on the couch and told her don't make a sound.
He started unbuttoning his shirt and she pulled out the gun.
Hands shaking while she had the gun to his chest.
She looked at him and all she saw was fear.
She closed her eyes and pulled the trigger.
She heard a scream, looked over and saw his daughter with a phone in her hand.
She dropped the gun when she heard the sirens.
Walked out the door and surrendered.
They took her into the police station.
Sat her down and started invastinging.
The detective looked at her as if he could see the remorse in her eyes.
He said tell what happened before you shot the gun.
She started rambling.
Look, all I ever wanted was for him to stop.
Stop touching and raping me.
But Every time I told him no he would listen.
See he has a daughter
I would never let him do it to her so I decided it was better if he died.
But I didn't know she was there.
It breaks my heart to see her scared.
I just wanted him to stop.
I just wanted him to stop.
He told her he was gonna have a rape kit ready and then he was gonna let her go.
After all it was self defence.
Couple years later, She was walking out of the grocery store.
A woman had stopped her.
She looked at her. I'm sorry, do i know.
How could you do it?
She said i'm sorry, I don't know who you are.''
How could you? Why did you pull the trigger? Why did you do it?
And it all came rushing back. She almost fell out.
She said there are things you don't know but I would rather not talk about.
The woman stopped her again and said I forgive.
But i really want to know why did you do it
She looked up as her hand went to her shoulder.
She gave me your number. And I'll call you.
The woman said why don't you come over she gave her a piece of paper.
She said I would love that.
Later on that week she headed over with her best friend on the phone.
She said something fishy.
I don't like this
But she ignored me and said it was ok.
She knocks on the door.
After a while she opens up with a smile on her face.
As she walks in a rush of fear come over her,
She takes a look around and she sees a familiar face on the walls.
It’s him.
She thought oh god it’s him.
Her feet feel light.
All the pain in sight along with the rage.
What should I do?
She looks back before she knows it a small wack hit the side of her head.
She wakes up.
Her memorykinda foggy.
She looks around Duct tape on her legs and mouth.
She scrambles around.
the little opal always knew that day would come back and haunt her.
She always kept a gun and knife everywhere she went.
In fact it was the same gun.
Never trusted no man.
She knew she'd have to fight.
She knew the system was fucked.
Took the knife out her sock and cut off the tape.
Reached in her other sock and grabbed the gun.
Took the safety off.
Marched out the room like the big bad wolf.
Ready to fight to the end.
Only thing she was missing was her memory.
See she didn't remember the place.
No in sight. Walked out of the house.
The scenery was different.
She then started to panic.
She started to think.
How long was I out?
How?
How long?
How Long was?
How long was i?
How long was i out?
She screamed.
Another blow to the head that she need.
