After living through the Death Penalty in prison, Girl is considered dead.
Possum Girl
Chapter 1
Girl’s mind and body were submitted to dirt. She had nothing left. No one knew she was still alive and she was tired of letting that happen. Lying six feet underground, she was thinking about her life of playing dead. Living in a coffin wasn’t easy at first, but she soon became accustomed to the worms crawling in her eyes and ears. When it was her turn on death row, facing Judgment Day, the doctors didn’t give her enough of the antidote. Half dead, she saw visions of Satan, and felt the fires of Hell burning at her feet .Thinking that she would die very soon, she decided to play dead and wait for Lucifer to take her down. Always wanting to be the center of attention, she killed four people in attempt to get that attention. Everyone would be discussing her sins and she would be the topic of conversation. Girl wanted this attention so much more than just once. Half her face went numb because of the antidote, and her hands didn’t work that well, but she still wanted to be the only one anyone ever talked about. Taking in a big lung-full of contaminated air, her face scraped the dirt, making her the dirty girl she wanted the world to see her as. Girl’s voice had changed over time because of the numb side of her face, so when she talked to herself, it came out as disgruntled, muffled sentences. She became used to her long, growing hair that reached the end of her coffin. She made friends with the worms and bugs, but all of them scurry away when she talks to herself and she still doesn’t know why. The type of attention Girl still wanted was enough for her to become infamous. Girl wanted everyone to see how terrible she could be, but her troubles of everyone thinking she’s dead got in her way.
