Wrote this quick! I think it worked out.
He stumbled down the stairs. Shelia was here, Shelia was here, his beautiful baby girl.
She wore a long white dress, but stared down at the cherry wood of the steps. The top of her head was bare.
He slowed down when he noted a silver chain trailing behind her. It ended in – No! No!
His brother fisted the other end of the silver leash.
His brother’s smirked and mouthed the words: “I win.”
No, he would fight this. It wasn’t over yet. He wouldn’t allow his daughter to suffer.

Oh, wow. I didn’t expect that leash. It makes me wonder what kind of world they’re living in — and when. Great piece, Sonia!
I’m glad you made it in time 🙂 There is so much going here! I wonder about the world they are in, the backstory, everything else. Great piece of short fiction.
Oh no, I hope he can free her.
There’s a lot of backstory here! Very dark little story.
Yikes!
