This was haunting! the last part felt like a trance, like she was seized by another power—well done!

This is amazing!! I love the flip from broken to confident. The line "For ghosts haunt" gave me chills!! 🤍

I really liked this line "If she was a ghost, these chains faded right through her wrists. If she was a ghost, not one of these men could dare touch her. For ghosts haunt."

"They were the objects of the haunt, not the victims." What a staggering closing sentiment. A powerful exploration of reclaiming power in the darkest of places....thanks for sharing this, friend.
