Growing up, I always felt so pathetic. My little sister was stronger than me, even though she was younger. She'd pin me down in the living room when our parents weren't looking, twist my arm behind my back until I winced. The worst part was knowing I could never fight back, not just because she’d make it worse later, but because how fucking embarrassing would it be to admit that your baby sister was dominating you? So I just took it. Let her push me around, let her laugh at how weak I was. It messed with my head more than I ever let on. She'd grab me by the back of the neck and shove my face right into the toilet bowl, laughing like it was just some silly game. "Come on, big brother," she'd say in that light, teasing voice, "time for a drink! You thirsty?" The water would rush up my nose as she gave me a swirly, her grip firm but not brutal, almost playful, like she genuinely thought this was normal sibling stuff. "Good boy," she'd coo afterward, patting my head while I coughed and sputtered. "See? Doesn't taste so bad." And I’d just stand there dripping, humiliated but too scared to complain because in her mind, it was all just harmless fun. There was one day I remember vividly, she was having a really bad day. And decided to take it out on me. She decided to use the toilet, before giving me a swirly. When I saw what was in the toilet I was horrified, floating right there in the water were her turds, brown and soft, already starting to cloud the bowl. She just grinned at me, that same playful smirk like she always had. "Oops," she said lightly, not even pretending it was an accident. "Forgot to flush! Oh well, you don't mind, do you?" Before I could react, she forced my head down into the bowl. The water was warm, clouded. I choked instantly, thrashing as some of her shit got into my mouth. She laughed above me. "Drink up," she teased, her voice cheerful like she was offering me a snack. She held me there for what felt like forever, her voice still light and casual as she said, "All better now! See? You made my day so much brighter.
