David Bowie 11, Olympic Gold 13, Color Party 47: Cuckqueane
Author: Kat
Title: Cuckqueane
Story: In the Heart
Colors: David Bowie 11 (How many times does an angel fall? How many people lie instead of talking tall? → Blackstar (Blackstar)), Olympic gold 13 (trial), color party 47 (Bastard Amber)
Supplies and Materials: Graffiti (sprinting), canvas, seed beads (Fatimah Amala), charcoal, miniature
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Summary: Fatimah understands the word now.
Warnings: discussed infidelity.
Notes: All I could associate.
Fatimah heard a peculiar story once, in which men whose wives are unfaithful were called cuckolds, and 'wore the horns.' She couldn't understand then why horns were associated with unfaithfulness, nor why the onus should fall upon the man, when it was the woman who wronged him and her family.
Now she understands. Now she knows the red-hot shame of not being enough. Now she hears, or thinks she hears, the whispers, the judgment, the glee disguised as pity.
There's a word for cheated women. She looked it up-- cuckqueane. It sounds wrong, but then everything is wrong, isn't it?
