Description
*French for "a place of forgetting."
Ever since I watched the movie First Knight, years ago, the romantic horror of an oubliette stayed with me.
The idea of there really being a place where people were put, not to be tortured, but simply left, to be forgotten, with no hope of escape was beyond my comprehension.
Imagine, no light but what enters from above, if that, a place you can never visit again.
The smell of death and remains of others who were condemned to starve in not only their own waste, but that of the previous residents as well.
Not even screams of other prisoners being heard.
Nothingness.
Forgotten as if to be erased. No burial. No acknowledgement that you ever existed.
Don't ask what I was saying, here. I couldn't tell you. I do know I did not want to show despair. I wanted a quiet strength. An awareness and acknowledgement that only comes from a place of inner resilience and peace.
Something tells me she's not afraid.
Something tells me her captors are.

Once in a blue moon, I do one just for me ...
Of course, I have to give props to the Perfect V4 series. The only one I don't have is Perfect Feet V4, but it's in my cart awaiting payday. ;D
My favorite character, Ann, by addy.
And, I am playing with my favorite dress, Maiden Fair Dynamic Gown, by Optitex, available at Daz (although I love all he creates).
Back to work I go :D

Hello Aidana, First I would like to thank you for adding me to your list, and for your wonderful comment on my work! Second, I took a pretty sizable look at your gallery of work and I'm very impressed...the entire body of your work I will get to completely view the next time I have a few extra minutes, but my over-all impression is to say what a splendid and very much a pleasure it was to view your works that I did view! I'm kind of new to this site, but I have more than fifteen thousand works to pick from to add to the site and my gallery...I was at deviantart for a long time but I am disgusted with their politics and unfair rules governing their 'popularity' contests and challenges, so I started looking for a new site and I found this one and love this place so much more! Keep up the great work and I will do the same! Have a great weekend! Sincerely, J.MichaelPiper
