FAMINE AND PAIN

            The lights flickered, and died!!!  I wanted to grab Eve, hide behind her, feel her cradle me in her warm, feminine grip.  She had never hurt me.  But Pavayne…  I shudder to say the name.  Pavayne.

            I said it again!!!

            The lights flickered, died.

            I was scared.

            The lights were gone.  For they had gone black.  Like blackness would if it became a light.

            "You'll never take me back to hell, Pavayne!!"  I screamed in terrible agony, remembering his brutality, his ruthless cruelty.

            I could swear, for a moment, he was there.  I could feel his cold grip of death, feel his hot breath agianst my neck, his sweaty chest rub against my back.

            But then the lights turned on!!

            Eve was watching me knowingly, the cruel glint in her eyes telling me she knew.  SHE KNEW.

            "I always say that when it gets dark," I said despairingly, putting on a façade as though I were joking, even as I fought back tears.

            Eve smirked.  I know she sees me as dirty, tainted because I had been raped.  I shuddred beneath her gaze.  I left her there in the elavator, her judgementalness making me so sad.  And making me remember my brutal rape by Pavayne.
