Absolutely loved your recent piece! (Love all your works really-). I don't know how or why but it felt more brutal than even the Christmas one (shudders on that one too tho). Maybe because your writing has improved even more? But just the way you describe everything is so so so raw (it has always been that way but this one just hit so hard I nearly cried)
Ps. If Ben could take one object with him into captivity for keepsies what would he choose?
Psps. Do u mind more asks?
Awwww. Thank you so much for reaching out to let me know. Ben is my child. My baby. I pour my heart and soul into his story. LOL. Ben has utterly lost himself by this point. He's in his head and not sure how to get out or if he even wants to.
As to your question, initially Ben would have said his Bible. However, I think after a couple of weeks he would have simply preferred warm a blanket or a soft hoodie. Not that his Bible isn't still important to him. But he has a lot of the passages that meant the most to him memorized, so the blanket would be more practical. Still, that being said, being able to read again would give his mind something to do. But as you can see by that last piece, his mind is shot by the time he gets rescued. Interesting to think about though, isn't it? If he'd been able to engage mentally with other things, would have have retreated so far into himself. I'm not sure that I even know the answer.
My ask box is ALWAYS open. I love getting asks. Please feel free to send more. :-)
Thanks Turtle anon. Always a pleasure.
