Battered

Iraq wakes from her post-rape coma, bats her long eyelashes, and says,

"He was so sincere! You should have heard him go on and on about how much he respected me. How all he wanted was to hold me in his arms and smother me with his love. Now he keeps me locked in my room, won't let me visit my friends, beats me when I complain. What did I do to deserve this? Should I leave him? But he NEEDS me! I can tell by the way he gets so angry when I do anything that makes him feel like I don't love him anymore. The big baby! Oh, how strong he is! Oh, I just don't know anymore! Am I going crazy?"
