The first time Mary laid eyes on Tim, he was a babbling 6-year old with smudges of chocolate on his cheek. He had smiled at her, and had called her the 'pwettiest lady in the whole wold'. The last time Mary saw him, he was a Father Timothy. Dressed in white and purple robes, he was brandishing a cross while methodically sprinkling holy water at her writhing body. Had Mary known little Tim would one day tie her up, drag her to church, and exorcise the life out of her, she probably wouldn't have bothered saving his little ass that day at the train station. Had she also known that little Tim would one day bring her lost humanity back torturously, she would have readily taken his place at the train tracks for a quick and painless death. But Mary didn't know these things, so she saved little Tim – the foul Monster of the night swooping down to save God's holy little Angel. But, as with all things too opposite... ...the foul and the holy was just never going to work. Not together. Not apart. Not ever. Note to self: Vampire goal.

The drip, drip brought back the memory of those screams. She could smell the crimson from that day, or was it crimson, salt, left behind by the blood and tears of some other prisoner. Were they abused? She wondered. How were her children. She thought of them a dozen times a day, she asked the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost to keep them safe. Jamil she had long ago realized would be spared his father's beatings. That day only brought it to her conscious. She had always known. But she saw it that day. Her beautiful daughter Maryam, that was who she was more worried about. Drip, drip. Splat. Splat. The water smelled bad. Sour, of shit. It tasted even worse. She had been forced to drink it, they had starved her, and deprived her of water for a few days. Was it days? She didn't know. There was no night and day in this place. Just the collective quiet and screams for food, for water, for mercy. Confessions of sins that the prisoners had not committed, anything to get out. Most harrowing were the screams. The whips, the flays, the screams. She winced every time she heard one. She shivered the first time she had heard one. She shuddered as she thought of that. The hair on her back rose, she pulled her arms around herself. It was unearthly. Not an animal's scream, not her screams when her husband beat her, not even when he had hit her with a bat. Not the screams of the dog that those kids had cornered, and were poking with sticks, some throwing stones at it, as if it were the devil himself. No, none of those screams. This came from a deeper place. This was a scream from before civilization. From before language. This was a scream, guttural. Loud, screeching, very much in pain.
