THERE IS WATER IN HER HUSBAND’S THROAT, RED AND WARM AND WEAK. More
They say she is mad, and they must be right. Why else would her own husband lock her away like this? She knows she should try harder to be the good little wife he desires her to be, but there is a tempest in her heart that can never be tamed. It desperately calls out for something which lies far beyond the prison her home has become, and although she doesn’t remember what that thing is, she’s heard it calling back to her too many times to ignore. If she’s mad, then so be it. She won’t rest until she learns every last one of the secrets her husband has been keeping from her.
