Always to Sun

Dear Brother,
Its been a while since you've been gone. Things have drastically changed; I've been sold to live with my new slave-owner Doak and his wife, Sue. So far, Sue has been the only one who's really cared for me. Her husband Doak raped me, and I became pregnant with his child. Plum is now dead due to her courage of trying to stay along with me. Although you moved to the North and became a Frenchman, PLEASE Sun, come to Doak's land and rescue me; I can no longer take this struggle anymore!

Sincerely, Always

Plum's Eulogy by Always

"My sister, I prayed you wouldn't have to go through this tragic barbarism; especially at a young age. Being a slave working under tough conditions was hard for me to watch. Hearing your screams as you ran towards me trying to stay together like family struck me like thunder. Seeing you cry made my heart sink into the bloody puddle you bled from the wagon. Experiencing your sister being raped; not having a family- being a slave. Your life was a struggle just much as mines. I tried my hardest to take care of you and keeping us family; and having to bury your body on Doak's land made me thirsty for revenge. Knowing you're no longer in this hell-hole made me realize you're in a better place. I LOVE YOU PLUM!"
