Otatso Wetlands ii. pain and guilt

❝ is it getting better
or do you feel the same?
will it make it easier on you now
if you've got someone to blame? ❞

the mute woman was on the run again.  the devil had sought her out in the form of a man and he had come to her on the cusp of darkness seeking to defile her.  the thought was fresh upon her mind as she surged away from the lakeside.

she scarcely noticed when the snowfall had begun to pick up until it clouded her vision entirely, swirling around her in beautifully dangerous arcs.

it terrified her.

storms always had and this one was not much different;  the wind was howling and the air bit uncomfortably against her wet limbs.. but what frightened her the most was that she could not see.

it caused her to bolt until the faintest tree-line came into view, and lucky enough she was able to reach it and cower in relative safety.
