The Seventh Hour
The shaking rips through her body with such a terrible ferocity, her lungs cannot hold out. She struggles for breath at the full realization of what has been done to her, as she understands that she will never be what she was, and as she closes her eyes against the blunt and horrific reality that was and is these five hours of her life.
The sixth fast approaches, and she prays the hour she calls the sixth can also be called the last. This is the continuous hope with every passing hour, minute, second; that they will be the final measurable amount of time she will have to endure this gut-wrenching act against her and her dignity.
The ability to voice this basic need has long ago left her with the final collapsing of her vocal chords at the third hour, when her screams became just whispered pleads and then nothing at all, even when her mouth opened and tongue moved to form them.
Her mouth is dry and she desperately wishes for rain to pour down upon her and deliver her from this unspeakable evil. For she has convinced herself that once the stormy clouds release their conviction, she will be washed clean of the filth that lays upon her.
She watches, almost like a graphic movie, as her purity and light travel down the long descent into the dark abyss of shame. She watches as the primal instincts of lust, coupled with the mind-numbing effects of alcohol tear apart her self-worth. She watches as they take everything that was supposed to be hers with such uncaring savagery that it shakes her to her very core.
The same core this is slowly being chipped away with every violent thrust, every hateful word, and every unwanted touch.
And at the turning of the seventh hour, she watches as her first savior brushes against her nose, the forefront of her army, before a wave of liquid soldier attack, pushing away the suddenly defenseless men who take everything with them.
These men who take everything with them, leaving her with nothing but cold water pounding against the body she feels she can no longer call her own.
