Year 10.6 English Magdalene Class Blog

Miss Anna Clarissa de la Fuenta was released into the world on the day of the solstice eclipse. Her poor mother suffocated during labour, choked by the shadows of the black sun. The bloody newborn plucked its way out into existence, ripping her way through warm wriggling walls of darkness. The poor thing became struck with instant blindness, her tender pupils smothered by a film of black ecliptical cataracts. Despite her disability, Miss Anna Clarissa de la Fuenta was always an exceptionally gifted child. By the age of three years and four months, the naked thing has mastered the art of standing; ingeniously employing the now-hardened umbilical cord as a dwarfish walking stick. By the age of five years and two months, Miss Anna Clarissa de la Fuenta had successfully constructed herself a make shift bed, accumulating a mound of the softest soil against the comfort of the deflated tummy from which she came.

It wasn’t till she was fourteen years of age that Miss de la Fuenta was introduced to the art of speaking. Educated under the amiable guidance of the invisible doctors, she excelled prodigiously, particularly in the discipline of oration. When the invisible doctors left, however, Miss de la Fuenta became overcome with sickly disorders; distressed by the potential dispossession of the words and phrases that were taught to her. She spent the remainder of her years encircling the body from which she came, walking as far as the umbilical cord would allow. Calloused and Hairy, the overgrown lumbering piece of oppression would jerk her back every time she wandered too far.

Miss Anna awoke one morning, startled to hear a crowd of murmuring voices. She stood there, dumbfounded. Naked. Her jaw hanging wide, gestured for conversation.

Miss Anna Clarissa de la Fuenta died on that very morning fourty two years and eight months after her birth. Curled into a ball. She wedged herself into the warm softness of the soil. She died with her mouth wide open, as if in the process of orating. Her lips were soaked with blood, her teeth covered in umbilical hair.
