It’s insignificant for a thirteen year old to walk to the bus stop alone. When Sarah asked, she was all of nine, and mama said no. What if she was kidnapped?
So she stopped asking. She became mama’s confidante.
Now she’s in therapy for anxiety, trauma.
Growing up is scary.
A/N: This was written for Kayleigh Fraser's 50-word micro fiction challenge.
