She shrugged her shoulders. There wasn't much that scared her those days. Being tied to a chair and sliced into ribbons until she was almost dead took a lot of her fear away. Maybe she was worried about her son's safety or what was actually happening in her troubled marriage, but she didn't fear a physical end for herself. Death would come for her one day. If it was soon, she didn't much care. Her life had been long enough. At times, it was too long.
