LYN LIFSHIN
Iım five months pregnant
with a child of a
man who raped me. It
was a week before
Christmas. I was outside
K Mart, near closing
time. I realized I didnıt
have my checkbook,
ran out to the car.
The lot was full. I was
near the curb. I ran out
to get it. My car was
open which was odd.
Then I felt a hot
flash. There was a man
near the glove compartment
I was rummaging through. I
just focused on his clothes.
I didnıt know what race
he was, never saw his
face. He penetrated
my anally. I blacked
out, next I felt the
cold air from the car
door being open.
I just drove around.
I couldnıt wreck my
familyıs Christmas,
drove until 2 am. I
felt guilty, I thought
Iıd never have let anyone
invade my body. Iıd have
scratched and torn at him
but it happened so
fast. I took three
showers a day to erase
the feeling, the smell.
When I missed my forst
period, I thought
my body was traumatized.
It was a black cloud.
Then I missed my
second period. When I
took the test, they
called to say
congratulations
