[ WP ] Write a serious , adult story in a style normally intended for children .

Three people once lived in a house. 
 Johnny, Mama, and Papa, her spouse. 
 Johnny was a child, only age five. 
 Mama was depressed, and barely alive. 
 Papa was a monster, always seeing red. 
 His voice loud enough to rouse the dead. 
 
... 
 
 Friday was the worst, Mama always felt, 
 Because Papa used to drink, and beat her with a belt. 
 He always laughed, his face full of mirth, 
 As he hit Mama, down into the dirt. 
 
... 
 
 And then one Friday, Papa came home. 
 One hand held a bottle, the other held his dome. 
 His head was hurting, it was easy to tell. 
 Especially when Papa collapsed and fell. 
 A few soft, gentle snores filled the air, 
 And that was when Mama decided to dare. 
 
... 
 
 She picked up the knife, the one they used to chop, 
 And advanced on the snoring, unconscious Pop. 
 She stabbed him thrice, stopping not to rest. 
 Once in the stomach, and once in the chest. 
 And just for good measure, she stabbed him in the head. 
 Then looking down at the man, Mama said, 
 `` Who's laughing now? Papa, you're dead.''
