I'm stuck in this house, trapped in this life. 
I spend each day cooking and cleaning, utterly dependent on my alcoholic mother and my crazy boyfriend. With each day that passes, I feel more and more hopeless, and I'm scared this cycle of misery will never end.
My father abused my mother, and now my boyfriend is abusing me. Do I accept this as my fate? Or is the universe trying to show me another way?
If you liked the suspense of Sleeping with the Enemy by Nancy Price or the bravery shown in Stephanie Land's The Maid, you'll enjoy the short story, Anna, Wake Up.
