Her Dear And Loving Husband
“I can hear the faint cries of the other women in the cages around me. The dim candlelight is flickering demons, there are the real demons I want to cry, not us, there they are in the shadows on the walls. I am so ill I am delirious, barely conscious or alive. I feel the blood on my legs from the scraping of the iron chains around my ankles, an extra precaution, they said, to prevent my specter from vanishing through the walls. As if chains could prevent a real specter from doing anything it wan...ted. The women surrounding me are groaning, or scratching their itching skin, or reading the Bible, or praying softly, hoping God could hear them even there.I am in hell. I am waiting for someone, anyone, to realize this mistake. I should be home with my husband. We shall have our baby soon. I try to speak but only spittle escapes my cracked lips. I close my eyes and know I am dying, my baby dying with me. I let the tears flow freely because I think I shall never see my beloved again, and I know how devastated he shall be when he learns that I left him though I promised I would never leave him ever.MoreLess
