The 22 Pistol

9 October 2007

by HRM Deborah

When I was in my early thirties, I had by this time suffered numerous forms of torture by the very man that over time had murder many in my family and later would murder my own Mother.

On this particular day, this man decided he was going to make me suffer once again, a little dog that I had saved like so many animals in my life. This particular little dog, he decided to take a 22 pistol and was going to shoot her and kill her.

Previously, he had murdered a mother cat and her litter of beautiful little kittens; that I loved dearly.

I did not wish for this to happen, so I called the little dog to come and climb into my lap. She ran to me and I did help her to gain security in my lap.

In turn, the man decided with my own Mother present that he was planning then to murder me instead.

He put the pistol to the center of my forehead, I could feel the metal against my head to almost the very bone that formed my skull; even to this day I am still reminded of the feeling of the cold steel of the barrel against my head.

You would think I was frightened, but I was not, instead I thought of all the hardships and suffering I had endured because of this horrible man. Instead, I told him that I was tired of all his mistreatment and that I would take no more and if he was going to shoot and kill me to do it because I was tired of all his mistreatments and I did not speak in a soft tone but of one more of force of power.

I had not ever spoken this way before and cannot remember, if I have done so since.

Instead I saw something in the man’s face, I could never decide if is was surprise or exactly what it was, but he did pull the gun away and lower his hand to his side.

The moment he did that, with the little dog in my arms by then, got up and ran.

Not knowing where to go, I went and hide among some trees.

After a little time, my Mother called for me to come out and that everything was going to be ok.

This is just one example, of what people are guided to do under the belief that Zionism is the way to live.
