After reading "the girl with the blackened eye." I took it as a story as a young woman sharing the gruesome memory's of her life and past. That she may not have spoken about or let her mind process. So she finally getting free from it by writing it down and sharing it with her audience. I think as she goes on the worse part has come after this tragedy.
I would imagine in every victims progress the after math has to be worse then the actual encounter. It may take months, even years for your mind to come to ease with past events and not to mention the memories probably are as consistent. I would bet some victims have these memories up until there dying day. The after math comes worse because most victims take themselves out of the situation and try to escape in there own minds. As she mentioned in the story "You are there, and not there."
She mentioned numerous times how she was "forcible abduction" Which i found interesting because we are discussing this exact topic in another class of mine. We've discussed how victims deal with these traumas and there steps to recovery and how most never return to there original state or return completely to normal. It sounds like these past events have effected this woman to the day of her writing these. It effects her family for she feels she can not tell anybody of her story and does her best not to mention the past.
