Somewhere North of York, England. 1704
Urg… How long had it been since the last man had seen her? The last man to lay his hands on her fraile body and turn her bones to dust until he was satisfied… More importantly, when was the last time Father had checked in on her? The last time he brought her food. It was hard to tell in this dark basement filled with nothing but fear and loneliness. Time didn’t really exist unless she wanted it to.
Nothing really existed unless she wanted it to, she soon realized.
Uhmm… She should probably get up and bang on the doors--he might have just forgotten. Though she supposed there was no point now--it might only make him angry with her. She could go a few more minuteshoursdaysweeks without food.
Ahaha… Truth be told, she didn’t feel hungry anymore, actually. Or maybe the hunger just stopped existing because she didn’t want it to. This was her world--she could do with it what she saw fit. A world she could shape however she wanted. Maybe she’d kill all of the dirty men who dared to lay their grimy paws on her.
Ahh… What a world that would be. A world she could smile at. Oh! Her world would have a sun--no three suns--to shine down on her and keep her warm all year around. And she’d have a dog, too. It would yap and growl at all the things she didn’t like and turn into a vicious beast to protect her--but don’t worry, he’s actually a gentle giant! He just loves to give licks and hugs.
The girl turned over on her bed, feeling the weight of her existence crush her shoulders and hip until she finally fell onto her back with a huff. Her hair, sticky and knotted beyond repair, spilled over her face, only moving away from her mouth when she had sighed. Her hair smelled like roses.
Heh… Roses! Those are what she would be like. Her hair would be brushed magically into endless curls that fan out around her head like beautiful, red petals. And her eyes would glow in the dark so that all could see how beautiful the green tone was. And she’d wear only the most stunning of greens and browns. She’d be a rose, for sure.
But she was in a pitiful state now, wasn’t she? Sprawled out naked on a mess of blankets, all of them more stained than they were clean. That red hair of hers dyed brown in the mess of her eventful life and those dead, green eyes sat far inside of her head as they stared aimlessly at the ceiling. Fading away in her ugly, decrepit state she was unwanted by even those filthy men who frequented. Abandoned by those would have taken anything.
And now? Now she was left to die in a basement while her Father went to church and preached about a savior who was sure to come and bring hell upon all who had sinned. The girl had to wonder if he would be one of those sinners who was doomed to hell, or would God turn the other cheek and embrace his loyal pastor into his arms as she was dragged to hell for her unholy body and the misfortune surrounding her birth.
Eheheh… Maybe hell wasn’t so bad--she had this thought a lot. She’d probably fit in. After all, she was a breeding grounds for sin. She had taken all the sins of every man who walked through those doors and sucked them straight inside of her soul, harboring them there for all eternity. So, in a way, she might even be the devil. That’s why she had been banished to the basement, right?
Because her Father gave birth to the devil?
But, ahhh, why did that matter? She would always smile and come to the same conclusion when this thought hit her. It was out of her control and by now no amount of confessions would save her damned soul from the devil. Not even God or his followers could cleanse her soul of the taint that had worked so thoroughly through her body.
The little girl closed her eyes, exhaling again as if to test the strength of her chest. It wasn’t very strong, she realized without much shock. If anything, she had anticipated it. Ever since she had gotten too weak to stand, it had been downhill. She could hear the devil call her name and see as God looked to the other side of the world. The little girl had to wonder what was so important that made the all-seer choose to ignore those who needed him most. Maybe she didn’t even need him?
Maybe there were roses in hell.
