Title: In The Eyes of Her Son
Once upon a distressingly real time in a house on the other side of the moonlit sky, seven-year-old Joseph observed the harsh reality of his mother, Tara's, life. His view was often impaired by a veil of innocence, but tonight, reality pierced through.
Joseph's father, Billy, was an epitome of intimidation at thirty-four wheels of life. His household was a playground of terror, especially for Tara. A divine beauty of thirty-three, Tara embraced the misery of her existence with strength beyond compare. Her brown hair cascaded like a waterfall losing its force gently over delicate blue eyes, often masked with a shade of black tracing its roots to Billy's abusive hands.
On this fated day, Tara was adorned with attire representative of a falsely joyful life – a dress rippling with vulnerability, platform sandals affirming her tower of strength, and various jewellery of her marital bonds. Suspended from her shoulder, her purse hosted countless stories of her sorrows and strength.
As she approached Joseph, her blue eyes veiled with a storm of unshed tears, Tara breathed a confession of despair, "Sorry honey, but mommy can't take this anymore." Her hands, painted fiercely black to contrast her otherwise bright existence, met Joseph's, sending him into a world of dizziness.
When Joseph woke, he found himself in a realm of unfamiliarity. He had been transformed into Tara, complete with her brown hair, physicality, attire, and even the ominous bruise from Billy's most recent rampage.
Panic bubbled within him, causing him to hastily reject the feminine objects – the platform sandals, the purse, the wedding ring. Tara, possessing what was Joseph, knelt down, gently whispering the painful truth. His identity as Joseph would be erased, replaced with a new reality as Tara.
Tears filled Joseph’s, now Tara’s, eyes as the harsh reality washed over his warm childhood memories. The cruel onslaught of a lifetime of abuse rattled the corners of his innocence, replacing them with Tara's scars.
"Damn, my eye is still throbbing. That man needs to learn to keep his hands to himself," Tara muttered, her voice a echo of the ever so endearing innocence that used to be- Joseph. She busied herself adjusting back into Tara's attire, wrestling with the sandals and purse, before panic filled her voice, "Where's my wedding ring? Better find it before Billy throws a fit."
And so, she found the symbol of her scorned love and slid it back on her finger, before facing herself in the mirror. The reflection in the mirror brought raw pain, and as the tears trickled down her bruised face, she applied lipstick with an unsteady hand.
In the midst of the trauma, Tara’s new existence had lost the memory of the innocent, seven-year-old Joseph. It hurt, it shattered, yet it held a bitter truth of her life, etched within the innocence of her son.

Prompt: A story about 7 year old Joseph at home with his 33 year old mom Tara and his 34 year old dad Billy. Billy was very abusive to Tara. Tara had brown hair and blue eyes and was currently wearing a necklace, earrings, her wedding ring, a dress and platform sandals with her purse on her shoulder and had a black eye. Tara walked up to Joseph and said "Sorry honey but mommy can't take this anymore" before pressing her hands with her nails painted black into Joseph's hands causing him to get dizzy. Opening his eyes, he realized he had long brown hair and now had strange mounds on his chest. Looking down, he saw a dress and platform sandals and a wedding ring and a purse. Joseph removed the sandals, purse, and wedding ring deeming them all too girly. Tara told Joseph she would erase his memories and make him think he's Tara. Joseph started crying as his childhood memories and innocence was replaced by a life as Tara. The new Tara looked around confused and frustrated. The new Tara said "My fucking eye is still swollen shut cause my husband don't know how to keep his hands to himself" Tara then grabbed her platform sandals putting them back on and grabbed her purse putting it back on her shoulder. Tara then asked "Where's my wedding ring? Better find it before I piss off my husband" finding it eventually and putting it back on her finger. Tara then walked over to the mirror looking at her black eye before crying as she applied some lipstick and some more makeup having no memory of being 7 year old Joseph
