The simple fact is, she’s too tired to move.
I have been haunting this building since the day I was killed. But now it’s time for me to leave. The boys that surrendered their lives for me will now wander the halls of Mayday Hills until someone else is stupid enough to come in here at night and surrender themselves to our manipulation”. “No,” Layla said in barely a murmur. “Oh yes, dear child.
She says, “what a poor feeble condition we were in, there being not the least crumb of refreshing that came within either of our mouths from Wednesday night to Saturday night, except only a little cold water” (239). With the death of her child, Rowlandson’s faith in God starts to waiver. The idea of suicide as a way out even crosses her mind. The first form of nourishment that she mentions does not come in the form of food, but rather in the gift of a Bible. This is given to her by an Indian returning from a raid on a town.
