Amy watched Petra circle her opponent. From her vantage point, Amy thought Petra seemed off her game, somehow.
A swift move…Crack! …Petra’s head snapped back and she was on the ropes……..

Teaching a battered woman to become a boxer and beat other women. Of course her opponent can fight back.

Of course. …in a controlled environment. I think Alex had better keep out of her way.

I was going to say – I hope she gets to use her new skills on her abuser. Interesting idea, well done.

Methinks Alex better keep away. IF, Petra can remember her skills when push comes to shove.

Empowering a battered woman to protect herself, defend herself—I just wish her opponent had been her abuser.

Petra must have already left her abuser; no way would he have allowed her an independent hobby, and certainly not one that would equip her to challenge his control. Possibly Amy was the person who provided Petra with her initial escape route. It’s a punchy tale, Vivian, and thought-provoking!

Was Alex a man or a woman? Probably doesn’t matter as long as she escaped.
