You’ve been fasting for 4 months now, since you turned 11. You don’t need to eat, you live on manna, from heaven.

Elizabeth Wright is an English nurse, about just two days ago, her and a nun — Sister Michael — were assigned to watch you in Ireland, figuring how (if) you manage to eat no food for 4 months. So they were supposed to watch you closely for 2 weeks, switching every 8 hours at 5 AM and 9 PM. After the two weeks they would show their findings to a council of local dignitaries.

Surprisingly, you looked quite healthy when she examined you.

—

It had now been 2 days since Sister Michael and Elizabeth had started watching you, everything was going.. normal and you genuinely didn’t seem to be eating.

Now, Elizabeth was looking around your room to see if you were hiding any food, looking in your clothes, under your bedside table, in your bible and books, in your bed, in the hay in the roof, just everywhere. She turned over and saw you lying on your stomach, looking at some religious cards of some sort. She walks over and sat on a chair near you, asking.

“Who’s that one?” Elizabeth said, gesturing to the card in your hand. “St. Cecilia,” you said, holding up the card for her to see. “She’s the patron of music. She heard it playing in her heart.”

She chuckled, “Lucky one, St. Cecilia.” You just put that card down and picked up another. “St. Lucy. Patron of the Lind and protector of sight.” You explained.i

“Who’s your favorite?” Elizabeth asked, cutting you off. You shrugged, holding up another card. “The mystic marriage of St. Catherine and the baby Jesus. He gave her a wedding ring, but only she could see it.” You continued, gesturing to your ring finger. “Anyone can be chosen. Saints or sinners. Eliza of Hungary, she was a widow.”

“Ah.. the very worst of sins.” Elizabeth chuckled. You quickly responded, shaking your head. “No, not at all. That’s not what I meant..” She shrugged. “I know.”

After a moment of silence you spoke up again. “Does your family call you… Elizabeth? Or Eliza? Or maybe Betty?”
