But Ember wasn’t listening to me. My eyes widened in horror as her minions pushed past me and descended upon my personal belongings. They tore into my suitcases, ripping my designer dresses and scattering books all over the room. They smashed and tore to shred all of my ceremonial gifts – tokens from friends and family to make my graduation.
I tried to intervene “No! Please stop,” I cried, breaking free from the enforcers that held me and lunged forward to stop the person holding a picture portrait of my mother only to be restrained by the enforcers. “That’s my mother’s picture… please… it’s the only thing I have of her".
Ember laughed cruelly, holding up a small tripod that had her phone attached to it, pointing it towards me. That was when I realized that she was doing a live-stream. She was disgracing in the presence of the entire world. Tears streamed down my face as I watched everything I held there been destroyed.
My mom’s pictures lay smashed and broken on the floor, and my laptop and my iPad were not spared either…
“Why?” I turned to Ember sobbing, my shoulders shaking “Why are you doing this to me. I’ve never done anything to hurt you. I don’t even know you".
