My mother used to tell me about the Ocean.
She said there was a place where there was nothing
but water as far as you could see.
There are times when I stare out to the edge of the forest
to see if I can find the end of it.
Find where the rest of the world begins.
My entire life has been about the world outside the fence line.
The forbidden paths, which no villager, guardian or sister is allowed to walk.
The Sisterhood protects the people, and yet, they cannot stop
the chill that overtakes my body and seeps into my bones.
I imagine a world of nothing but water closing over my head.
But I cannot block out the pain, the voices and the fear.
What happens if the fences are breached?
It's only a matter of time.
