Husband. again.
She is sitting in this position - one that makes her look like a primate whose hands have gone limp. You can see that she has pondered the facts of life and the grandiosity of her future. But at times her brain seems to shut down and she thinks ‘this life is his way of punishing those who survived’. Now she rocks back and forth in a way that suggest she’s had enough and wants out. There is a diamond necklace two feet from her foot. It shines but it’s been ripped, as if someone were trying to escape its hold over their neck. Now it serves no beautiful purpose - no neck shall wear it again. It will rot under a rug until some house pet takes the time to drag it out from under and wonder if this once-shining treasure is something worth devouring. And even then the girl will be rocking back and forth, arms at her side, head between legs. Even then will she feel pressure on her neck and she’ll try to rip the necklace off but nothings there. Nothings there.
