The Devil's Broken Doll
“No, no, no—”
She wanted to tear the bond out of her own skin. She wanted to rip the mark from her throat. She wanted to be anywhere but here, dangling like a broken marionette, humiliated and ruined and still somehow burning inside. Burning in a way that didn’t feel like life, didn’t feel like power. Burning like a curse that refused to go quiet.
The Devil’s broken doll. A thing posed and left, meant to be looked at, meant to be remembered.
