Daddy L. Legs/Synopsis



Early Childhood
Wars plagued the country, littering the soil with the bones of the revolutionaries and the marines. Born in the middle of this era was Daddy L.. Legs, the child of two of the village’s few doctors. For much of her infancy, Legs lived particularly happily, but on an unfortunate evening the revolutionaries charged into their village. Naturally, the marines fought back with all their might, and this clash devastated the village while claiming casualties that exceeded the number of marines and revolutionaries battling. Among these casualties were Legs’ parents. In the end, the village was overrun by rebels, and burned to the ground. The women claimed were physically harassed, and the men and boys either fought for the revolutionaries or they found their head separated from their napes.

While under the influence of the revolutionaries, the four year old Legs became a slave to these men. Alongside the other women, she washed their clothes, prepared their meals, and readied their arms. When she disobeyed, she was punished by the vile men: trapping her in a hole without water for twelve hours, physically assaulting her with sticks and whips, etc. Regardless of their punishment, Legs remained disobedient at times, thus a plan to break her spirit was hatched. As she walked to her home in the brisk of the night, alongside one of her mother’s close friends, they were assaulted by a few revolutionaries, They spared no mercy, savagely defiling them both, before rendering the elder woman dead. Regardless, they didn’t stop with their savage nature, and continued viciously abusing Legs until the morning.

When she was discovered by other slave women, they found her gasping for air, dehydrated, but what was most disturbing was that the purity of a four year old child was tainted by the reigns of hormone driven men. A group of slaves would report this incident to the revolutionaries and demand that these men be punished, but too little to no avail. Before Legs, the group that respected and cared for her enough to defy the revolutionaries were killed, and Legs was subject to the same physical abuse that she had been that previous night. Following this day, a precedent had been established that—the revolutionaries used the women’s disobedience to justify their actions—revolutionaries would be legally be allowed to take women whenever they wanted to satisfy their needs. Blaming the entire incident on Legs, the women and slaves turn their back entirely on her. In the streets, she would be bombarded with stones, or the money she’d receive from working the fields would be stolen in the brisk of the night. The environment had become dangerous for Legs, even among the people that were being severely mistreated.
