Simon and Carman stopped in their tracks when they saw their mother tearing up envelopes scattered across the coffee table so when he approached her, all the letters had 'Samantha Fletcher' written sloppily on them. His eyes widened and clenched his fists, biting hard on his tongue to supress his rage but his body moved on its own, snatching one letter out of her hand.

Within seconds, a stern hand slapped his face. But this time when he sighed and looked at his mother with a flat expression, a stronger backhanded slap came his way which made him stumble in surprise. Simon winced as he held onto his redden cheek and glared at the vile monster that was before him. Just when he was about to strike back at the beast, Carman's cries were enough to make both of them go their separate ways.
