Truth - Out. Content Warning.
Luke searches Matt's face. "He pushed her," Luke states, blankly. Matt can't hold Luke's steady gaze. He just nods, his mind presenting him with a flashed moment of Mark's angry face as he lunged at Laney, and as if in slow motion, Laney's surprise as she tipped off balance, not prepared for the force of Mark's contact, and her subsequent fall.

When we think of slavery in this modern age, we quite rightly look at the systematic abduction of Africans to work the plantations of North America. In fact, one could almost say that slavery in the public's consciousness has become synonymous with what we know about the plight of people subjected to that life.
