Her Happiness

Hell has Hope

By Cheryl KellerPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
Happy

He’s home. He’s home. Her heart beating horrifically. Her handsome husband. Her head hints “help, help”. He’s home. He hesitates . . . “hi honey”. He’s hungover. Halleluiah.

Homemade ham hock hash. He’s hungry. Hiccupping, he hails “How horrible”. He hurls his helping. His hand hits her head hard. Hits her, hits her, holding her hennah hair. Hurting her. Horror. He’s horny. Horrible hairy hands. Humiliating. Hell.

Handy hammer. Her hope. Hitting, hitting, hitting. He’s horizontal hemorrhaging. Homicide. He’s heavy. Hauling him. Hiding him. Her heart’s happy. Hypnotized.

Helicopters hovering. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Her head’s hazy. Helpful heroes? Hastily heading home. Hitch hiking. Humbly hopeful, however . . .
