Abagail Locked In Hiding
“Abagail where are you 
 My sweet, sweet little angel.”
 Said the horrible nasty 
 Creature who has somehow 
 Became what I am forced 
 To obey. I walked to the small 
 Outskirt room of the 
 Abandoned building 
 Where he kept me.
 The days of my life here
 Seemed to get longer and
 Longer. Sometimes I would
 Cry and look for a way out.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Momma hasn’t tried to 
 See me. Or even talk to
 Me. The last time I saw
 Her she was sleeping on 
 The kitchen floor. Then Daddy
 Mark took me here. He said
 Mommy would be fine
 And she just didn’t want 
 Me anymore. But I don’t
 Think that’s true. She
 Used to tell me that if I 
 Wasn’t around her life 
 Would have no meaning.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He came in.
 He was yelling my name. 
 Abagail. He was not
 My father. He was the
 Person who had been
 Following my mother
 For years. He came to 
 Me Shannon was with
 Him. She was my neighbor.
 He said “She will be joining
 You and when I decide who
 I like better, one of you will
 Leave.” 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He played the magic game.
 Today it was a three person
 Game. Normally I’m the only
 One who has to play. Shannon
 Cried and he hit her. Then he hit
 Her again. She began to bleed from
 Her head. He told me to get a trash
 Bag then he packed her into it
 Like he did Sarah. I never saw
 Her again. Shannon was
 My bestest friend in the whole
 World. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Yesterday was my 
 Birthday Daddy Mark
 Didn’t care.
 He just said congrats 
 Your three.
 Lets play a game
 To celebrate.
 It was the magic 
 Game.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Sometimes I wonder
 Why I am the only
 Little girl that never 
 Leaves. They only 
 Come for a couple 
 Hours they do something
 Wrong and he hurts 
 Them. I used to cry for
 Them but now I do 
 Not. “They got what 
 They deserved.” 
 Said Daddy Mark.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The magic game
 Is a hard game
 To play. I have
 To open my legs
 To the shaft in 
 Daddy Marks 
 Pants. It hurts
 More then 
 Anything in 
 The world.
 What used
 To be so 
 Small is 
 Stretched so 
 Wide.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 “Abbie come to Daddy
 Mark. I have to take
 You away from here.
 Sweet Abagail, they
 Found the children,
 Sarah, Shannon, 
 Taylor, And Leann.
 So me and my little
 Abbie need to get
 Away before they
 Find us.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I sat in his lap
 Listening to his 
 Speech of insanity.
 He believes because
 I am three I don’t
 Understand that
 What he is doing wrong.
 He packed his bags then put 
 Me in the back seat and we
 Left Charlotte forever.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The car ride
 Was long the
 Sad music he
 Played made it
 Seem even 
 Longer. My
 Straps on the 
 Carseat were
 Very tight.
 I had burns
 From them.
 The more I 
 Moved the 
 More it hurt.
 I think its
 The same 
 One he 
 Brought me 
 There in.
 
 
 
 
 
 When I got
 There I stood
 In front of the
 Garage and looked
 Up to the sky.
 I saw more sadness
 In the sky then I 
 Had ever seen in
 My own eyes 
 From there things
 Seemed to get worse.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Since we moved
 I’m no longer
 Locked alone.
 We live in a house.
 Me and Daddy 
 Mark. We never
 Leave its always
 Me and him and 
 No one else. At 
 Least for a little 
 While.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Daddy Mark just
 Left to go to the 
 Store. He said he
 Might bring me
 A sister home.
 And we can all 
 Play the magic
 Game together.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 When he got
 Home she brought
 In a little girl
 She said her name
 Was Melissa.
 She had brown eyes
 And  a brown hair.
 She was wearing a light
 Blue dress. It was Sunday 
 She was most likely at 
 Church.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Melissa lasted
 Longer then most
 Of the girls. She 
 Was my new bestest
 Friend. We shared
 A room for a little
 While.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Daddy Mark said 
 We have to go again.
 This time he said we
 Were going to Mexico.
 He said “they cant
 Take you away from
 Me there. I will always
 Have my Abbie girl.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He took Melissa to the 
 Bedroom while I watched
 Television. Then he came 
 Out covered in blood.
 I asked him “Where is 
 Melissa?” “Melissa 
 Was a bad girl.”
 He said. I fell to 
 The floor and cried.
 Then I ran to him and 
 Hit him. Then he smacked
 Me. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 When I woke up
 I was in my carseat.
 I looked to the left
 To see if Melissa was 
 There. She wasn’t.
 I began to cry.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He turned around
 And smacked me
 When he turned 
 Around his car 
 Was driving into 
 A big truck.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 A policemen pulled
 Me out of the car.
 Daddy Mark was
 Sleeping the front
 Seat. He wasn’t 
 Moving. I called
 His name. He
 didn’t say a word.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The adults argued.
 They pulled in front
 Of my house. The 
 One where mommy had
 Lived. She ran to the car
 Then she pulled me out
 Of the car I yelled the 
 Words I hadn’t said in
 A while “Mommy 
 I missed you.”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I was home
 And so glad
 To be. Mommy
 Really did
 Want me 
 More then I 
 Could have
 Ever known.
