When was your last? I've got to get the hell out of here moment. It was years ago when I was in

0:06.7

fourth grade. My parents used to get into fights all the time, especially when my dad was drinking.

0:12.2

They'd start yelling and that would turn into actual fistfights. At this time, we were living in a

0:16.7

small trailer, and the room I shared with all three of my siblings was the one at the end of the

0:20.9

trailer, near the back door. So my dad comes home drunk, mum is angry, and starts yelling,

0:26.5

and it escalates from there. Being on a small trailer, everything sounds so close and terrifying,

0:32.1

1:15.8

I brought the incident up to my mum. I told her that I thought she was screaming at me to get the siblings out of the house, and that's why I had. She told me she was screaming my name because

she was scared and wanted help, and didn't know who else to call for. I felt so bad because I

1:25.2

didn't help her, but there's really not much I could have done.

1:28.6

I worked in a factory that made large plastic items via filling moulds with powder and sending

1:33.7

into a giant industrial oven that turned to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of the week,
