Guy went into a panic, calling 911 (or whatever the emergency number would be for this time) to get her medical treatment. Quickly two hospitals workers show up with a machine that took minimal work to set up. Guy stood back and observed the two men who were smoking in his house, with seemingly no care to his wife’s state of health as they used the “snake” to purge her stomach of all the pills, food and acid.

They all looked for her and then when they did, she was dragged and then tied to a chair. She even cried out to her mom for help in anger, but no one came in to comfort her. When she got used to the place she started to speak broken English and found ways to rebel in a way that was quiet. There was this one time where Zitkala-Sa was mashing turnips.
