"Ginger Snaps: Memories"
4. Curious, Yet Ashamed
Brigitte is curious. She doesn't want to be, she doesn't mean to be.
Her curiosity is for things she knows will lead to life. Feeling alive. Pertaining to life, the processes of making a life, the things that shape and move life. Life itself, or like life itself.
She doesn't have much room for life, so she doesn't have –shouldn't have- any room for this.
Looking at her naked form in the mirror, her thin arms and ribs, her pale, almost dead skin and drooping hair, she sees a corpse, fresh off of the autopsy table.
One hand slides against her own skin, cold fingers making her shiver. A little ways below, and she'll reach unexplored territory.
She has never been there before.
