Ultimatum To Stranger
A woman receives an ultimatum from a scary stranger, her father.
"You had your fun; you made you mother cry, you made me upset, you made what's-his-name feel important. Now, come home.
Have you any idea how much money I spent raising you? Educating you? Making you who you are? If you think you can make yourself available the way you want to and to the people you want to, think again. Pay me back for every nickel I spent on you and then do as you wish. You are a very expensive investment for me to risk letting you make your own decisions. I own you. Every part of you I own. Your mind belongs to me. Your body belongs to me. Your ovaries belong to me. All of you and every part of you belongs to our family."
"Hey, listen" is an anthology of stories Violet and Lisa created over a period of several years. Each title is a fictionalized story, stylized as a letter, of people who were forced to confront powerful self-deceptions about the world and about their world.
Dear reader, welcome to a world of psychology and emotions.
