The Van Helsing Conjecture – Excerpt No. 161

Clara stood stark naked in front of a cracked mirror. The draught from the windows ran over her skin, turning it to gooseflesh… At least I’m clean

“I have no memories of this life…” Clara said.

Those she did have were more vivid than any dream she remembered having. None were about selling her body to make ends meet in a mining town… where the company owns everything and everyone

Photograph of the reflection a woman with brown hair and grey eyes wearing a tattered slip. She is thin enough for her ribs to peek through, and featured a small bust. She was pale, hairy, with several light bruises visible. Scene and clothing appropriate for a 1900s Canadian coastal mining town.
