Chapter 14 - Marcus Found the Old Metal Device Again, and Dominic Finally Decided to Destroy the Last Piece of His PastYears later, Marcus was nine.
He found the device in an old box.
“Mommy?”
I turned.
“What?”
“What's this?”
I froze.
Dominic walked in.
He saw it.
For a moment, he said nothing.
Then he took it.
“That's something very bad.”
“Why?”
“Because someone used it to hurt me.”
Marcus looked sad.
“Can we throw it away?”
Dominic smiled.
“Yes.”
They walked outside.
Dominic placed the device on the ground.
Marcus stepped back.
Dominic crushed it with a hammer.
Once.
Twice.
Again.
Then he picked up the pieces.
He smiled.
“It can't hurt anyone now.”
