The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the cold.

It had seeped into my bones, clinging to my skin like a second layer. The wooden floor beneath me was hard and unforgiving. My muscles ached from the awkward position I had curled into overnight, and my stomach twisted painfully with hunger.

But none of that compared to the sharp ache in my cheek, with dried blood clinging to my lip from my father's slap, a cruel reminder of last night.
