HE BROKE ME; THEN HE OWNED ME
His voice was steady, not soft, not cruel, simply firm, as though the words were carved into him long ago.
“You’ve been saved, young woman. Go and live a holy life, kill no more,” he said, like it was an order, not a suggestion.
I lifted my head slowly, wiping my eyes with the heel of my palm, though it did nothing. The tears kept coming anyway. My voice cracked when I asked, “Have I really been saved?” My throat burned, my face soaked with grief I couldn’t wash away.
“Don’t doubt the power of the Most High,” he answered, his tone unshaken, like he had said these words a thousand times before. “I assure you that there’s a home awaiting you in heaven.”
