My breath caught in my throat, and the world seemed to spin around me. I was trapped, held captive by a man whose obsession had driven him to the brink of madness. The glint of the broken bottle’s edge against my skin sent shivers down my spine, and the fear that gripped me was paralysing.
Luckily, my father was still conscious, I was scared that he had passed out. I was about to lift him up by the arms with the help of my mum when I felt a knock on my head hard enough to cause a thunderclap headache. Thunderclap headaches are rare and extremely painful headaches that start
