RE: ADSactly Short Story - Eva in Ghostland
That's one way to tame a wild spirit.
That's one of the dangers or powers (depending on how you look at it) of superstition/religion.
A creature without a face is like a mirror, a creature with all the faces. If it does not show, it reflects.
Eva will be foreever linked to the original sin, to the fall and therefore doomed to punishment and ostracism. Even free-spirited Evas, like Mark Twain's, get tamed at the end.
The eternal struggle between logic (purposeful march) and impulse (purposeless wandering). We are told is either or.
That's a reason to sob about.
Eva's free-spirited nature was tamed at the end. Like everyone else, there's a measure of curiosity in us which constantly seeks for satisfaction, but Eva's own was a little bit beyond normal.
