She was sitting in a small, dark corner, and had been there a long, long time.
One day, she stood to try to find a little light – anything – just to see what her little corner really looked like.
What color are the walls painted, I wonder?
She moved slowly, outstretched arms guided her way, slowly, slowly, so not to trip or fall.
It took some time, till there, out in the distance, she noticed, a light!
At first but the size of a nickel, but as she proceeded, the light grew brighter, and it became evident that the light was more than firelight, more than sunlight.
Too soon he found herself in more than she had planned, for slowly, she walked, straight to Hell.
