The solid oak door crashes shut, the impact trembling through the flimsy frames on the wall. Dust swirls in the lamplight’s dim cone as your uncle’s retreating footsteps echo down the corridor, abandoning you to the man who now holds the deed to your existence.

What other outcome could you possibly have expected for your disobedience?
