Please save yourself. Think of life’s to precious to keep going back and forth with a monster. You can’t save a narriaged that’s crossed the line of disrespect. For the ones still breathing and you have a chance to live one more day, run to safety this day. If children involved make a safety escape plan. Move in silence!
