Ruth waited in darkness, her fingers fidgeting with the ropes tied around her hands. Surrounded by that dank smell – that particular sordid combination of sweat, moisture, and animal urine. She stared at the giant beast ‘within her she had been smashed’, fear grasped her, and she tried to scream for help, but she was restrained. The building was dark and hulking with only one entrance. On the left corner of where I was restrained was an old, cracked jay with a horrible smell emanating from it. A hole on the top right corner of the roof blew down air directly on me, making my body shrivel. He was tall and muscular, with broad shoulders, in patched clothes, “Banga smoker” his eyes glowed red as a soldier with only one motive to kill and to destroy, he stood in sharp contrast at her, like a lion wanting to devour its prey. With bad omens of rape all over him.

Love is here always present bringing the message of hope and restoration. Everything was built on the foundation of love. What a life he wondered as he moved onwards, the beauty of the world is hidden in the woods, nature as it said is full of surprises, but I wonder how all of this came to existence never less there is always a reason and a new life for each and everything created and alive and healthy. I have seen and conquered my fears, life now is far different as it was before I met the one I love. It was a miracle a dream come through to be in love, eh now I understand where the strange feelings keep coming from whenever I think of her. The lights in her eyes, the energy which flows through her body whenever I touch her, the smile of restoration which speaks only of love whenever I kiss her lips, and the hope that she is mine and mine alone keep me from wandering around looking for I stopped searching the very moment I found her.
