Anna & Anger & Fear

Anna slowly turned around. If she’d had any hope of it being some other Mr. Rockwell, it was gone now. Lance was standing inches behind her smiling wildy.

Immediately Anna turned around scooping Taylor up in her arms to get his full attention.
“How long has Mr. Rockwell been working here?”
“All the time,” he answered.
“Ever since you started coming here?” Anna asked getting more scared by the second.
Taylor nodded his head slowly getting frightened from the look on Anna’s face. Without another word Anna was heading for the door.
“Leaving so soon?” Lance had grabbed her elbow.
Anna glared at him. “Yes.” she hissed through her teeth. She harshly ripped her elbow from his grip.
It was obvious he was controlling his anger.
“You should stay for Parent’s Day Anna.” he snapped. Suddenly the fusion of the fear & anger inside Anna seemed to create this explosion that couldn’t be contained any longer.
“You stay away from my child! I don’t ever want to see your hideous face again you perverted lowlife!”
