| 0:00.0 | 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 | and as the oldest of the four, I felt the need to protect my siblings, but I didn't know what to |

| 1:11.7 | A few years ago, |
| 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 |
| 1:20.0 | 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, |
| 1:39.2 | I was cleaning said oven and my boss, not knowing I was inside, turned it on. At the sound of hydraulic doors closing, |
