Yeah you kinda saw it coming and braced yourself and then it just unfolds in slow motion before you.
That Nintendo was my only companion outside of school when I went to my dads house. It was a large house and i was fairly isolated. The Nintendo was all I had to look forward to when I was there.
My dad was a violent man. Psychologically abusive too. I remember my big sister jumping in front of me when she was ten to take beatings meant for me. Sadly my sister and I are on different paths these days and we barely talk or get along.
