The Dark Sire Issue 7 (Spring 2021) - PREVIEW | Page 28

Satis House by Joanie Elian

Unnatural , conjoined in devastation to a woman , a living corpse , her spirit battling with ghosts of lost love and rejection , in her sad shrine .
A couple , a double , intertwined , sharing the same decaying prison , both rotting on the outside , fetid on the inside ,
A house , witness to cruelty , and inside its walls abuse , and control has destroyed dreams and Expectations .
Once fine and majestic , now forced to watch crime and tragedy . Drawn into darkness , secrets and deceptions seep into the walls , the floors — into its very heart .
Frozen in time , the house contemplates revenge , for exploitation of the worst kind , to Pip and Estella , to nature , to itself . A catastrophic event to consume the rage .
