Act II — The Women

She crossed the ocean to find God. She left everything behind. She didn’t know what waited.

A room with a warning on the door. An oath sworn under penalty of death. “God has revealed that you are mine.”

Sent away until the talk died down. Robbed of what only death can restore. Dry sorrow drinks her blood.

The revelation said wives who refused would stand condemned before God. Obey or be damned. There was no escape.
