Her of Shadow & He of Light (Forbidden)

By S. Hayashi

Can one ever find themselves when their entire being is the sole possession of another? Phebe must ask herself this question everyday. She is a slave in the Home of Master Reid in Antebellum Louisiana. In the heyday of the Cotton Kings and Sugar Barons. Her days are not her own and her nights are spent with her ear bent to the wind waiting for her Master to call. Phebe watches everyday as her Master and Mistress live the full rich life of plantation aristocrats. Their time is their own and they answer to no one. Phebe and the other slaves are left to the whim of their owners living ever in fear of being sold away, beaten, or abused. Phebe turns her mind to thoughts of freedom knowing full well what the consequences are if she is ever caught. The suffering for that most grievous of sins that can be committed by a slave might tear her and her mother apart. It is in darkness that Phebe spends the long dreary days with no hope of reprieve.That is until one day she meets a stranger in the woods. This stranger pushes back the inky void that had covered her soul and gives her the light of something greater than despair.
