Exit Ruinland

She must find an exit. A way out other than death. Maybe if she surrendered and submitted herself to the mercy of their religion she could be spared. She could live and see the birth of her son. But what kind of life? A life wearing a mask and pretending she didn't know God's terrible secret. Masquerading as a believer when she knew the truth. Her son would survive. But what kind of life? She could teach him in darkness but what if he listened to their lies? I would rather we both died than exist in that nightmare, she thought. If their reality is only a perverse delusion then they can have it. She will choose death.
