This is a short, powerful story with a feminist theme. It begins with the brutal murder of the narrator, a vivacious, otherworldly creature, by a human man. The narrator’s spirit, fueled by rage and revenge, seeks justice. Confined by no physical plane, she uses her supernatural abilities to confront her killer and reveal his heinous actions to the world, thus invoking his downfall. The narrative is a fierce and empowering message against the silencing of women and a call for justice against their oppressors.
