Mike Berger, Ph.D.

Opening my car door he grabbed me.
Flames bore down on my twisted arm
and fear seized me. He groped me as
he held a knife to my throat. Trying to
shout, I choked out, “No, no, please!”
The warm trickle of blood ran down
my neck and stopped my frantic shouts.

He ripped at my blouse as he pressed his
grizzly face on mine. He whispered with
his alcohol breath, Don’t you dare move.”
My blouse came off in shreds. Tears streamed
down my cheeks and I shook. He tugged at
my bra but it wouldn’t come loose. He moved
the knife to cut it away.

I kneed him as hard as I could. He slumped
over in pain and agony holding himself. I
fumbled frantically through my purse and
found my can of pepper spray. I gave him
a triple dose. He crumbled to the ground
gasping for air. I kicked him as hard as I could.
My foot radiated pain but I kicked him again.
I called 911 and in less than two minutes
ten cops arrived. One I’ll be officers gave me
her coat as they hauled the bastard away
