They were both hungry animals, just two, together, and they had no names.
They had been plucked from their lives and brought here, and that was all that mattered.
They were no longer women, but beasts.
They were all the same, only broken differently.
They were like a flock of birds, all caged together.
They were the forgotten ones, abandoned by society.
They had lost their voices, but they still had their will to survive.
They were stripped of their dignity, but they refused to let go of their humanity.
In this place, they were all equal, all victims of a twisted game.
They were broken, but they were not defeated.
They had scars on their bodies, but their spirits remained unbroken.
They were fierce, like wild animals fighting for their freedom.
