Beside the crib, she sings to her sleeping toddler, whose birth made this cursed earth into a nirvana. She began to ponder and realized: her life would lose ardor if she were no longer a gardener. But the farmer is just a captured sex partner; an alcoholic prima-donna, the type to come home with lipstick on his collar and immediately take a shower. His daughter is a withering flower because he saw her in the delivery room but stayed less than an hour. Paying child support? Ha! He doesn't bother! Mid-thought, she heard noises in the parlor. She wasn't hosting company, so either it's the Boogie Monster, or someone is trying to harm her. Her first instinct was to holler, but enough power she was able to conjure to not only face the unknown, but to conquer. She kissed her daughter on the forehead and vowed to be her armor. She tippy-toed down the dark hall smooth as a mobster and spotted the imposter with a ski-mask, duffle-bag and hunched posture. This person was trying to rob her for every dollar and piece of copper. She grabbed a pot off of the stove which she used to make pasta, snuck up close to the burglar and smelled traces of Vodka. She hit the thief multiple times in the head; each strike increasingly harder to the point where she went ballistic and nothing could stop her. She swung so many times, her arm looked like the propeller of a helicopter! As the stranger laid unconscious, she emptied the duffle-bag onto the counter and found not only her belongings, but two bullets in a revolver. Before she called 9-1-1 to send a police car and a doctor, she unveiled the face of the intruder: her child's father. It was then that she realized: her baby may have been awakened by the opera, soaking her teddy-bear with tears and crying "Momma!" She grabbed a story-book and headed down the hall to calm her. But when she opened the nursery door, she saw that her daughter slept through the drama.

This is straight fire! Shit, bruh the story telling was really good! I had a hunch about the twist at the end and yet it still satisfied. I’d continue to do these narrations.
