She feels the grip tighten around her neck. She feels the fingers curling around her windpipe.
She knows this hand, its strength, its softness; her body knows the digits, their moves, their trails.
Lips are touching hers, lightly, for a moment, and then she feels her breath and hears a shaky whisper.
"Why?"
And she has no answer.
"Anthy! Why?"
And she hears paper being crumpled, in a death grip; she imagines, with knuckles standing out in white;
and tentatively, she swallows, and breathes, slowly, into the hand that would hold her breath.
"Why, Anthy, is he still writing these letters?"
Another touch of lips, and a rush of air.
"Does he still call for you?"
And as she looks up she sees the pitiful eyes of a starving feline.
"Are you- are you still seeing him?"
The hand around her throat is shaking, and so is she.
"Why can't he stop. Has there not been enough death."
And she thinks of her prince.
And she wonders if death could ever be enough.
Punishment.
Release.
