Abuse

             Imagine for one moment that you are not yourself any longer.
             Visualize instead that you are a young girl; old enough to know right
             from wrong yet still young enough to be terrified by the dark shadows
             in your room. It is a cool autumn night and your parents have opted
             to attend a party which you are not allowed at. "It will be fine,"
             they say. Although you already know what is to come. Your uncle comes
             over to watch you for the evening, and your parents are so pleased by
             the fact that they do not have to find a sitter. As soon as he
