RE: The Good Girl

in The Ink Well3 years ago

What an amazing piece, I got hook to the end to find out how the good girl would end her story to us 😅.

It's so sad her sister had to die because of the kind of father she had, she could only save her mother but she had to soil her good name.

Nice piece @riverflows, thank you for sharing this with us.

Thanks so much! Appreciate it. I don't think she had a good name to begin with - she was trying to construct that.

Yeah that is true. A good girl will never call herself one, people will.

I think she does because she wants them.to see her that way, and I think she genuinely sees herself that way as she doesn't get into trouble or go looking for it. But killing her father or being aloof and seeing herself as superior to others is certainly not 'good' in the conentional sense..

Yes, it's good when we affirm good things to ourselves but sometimes we go out of track and that was what happened to her. Taking her father's life was really not the right thing to do but she did it and she was still not feeling guilty. How sad😢.
