Days Gone

The burns upon Grimhild’s face hadn’t gone away. No, but they’d turned her skin on that side to leather. She’d gone looking for gran, but the woman had cast her out, called her a burden now what should’ve died in the keep.

Maybe there was truth in that, too, but Grimhild didn’t die, and still couldn’t quite make herself want to.

All ugly like that, though, she found it hard to get kitchen work or even scraps anymore. So she’d taken to wandering along the Rijn, scourging for aught to eat.

When her bleeds had come and her belly had grown so tiny she thought it might up and vanish, she took to whoring. No one paid much for a dirty, faceless girl, but on nights when she found someone, she got a place to sleep and sometimes real food. It was worth the discomfort and, after a few years, there wasn’t hardly any shame anymore neither.

And Grimhild kept walking.
