Infinity Smashed: Golem Girl
Nov. 14th, 2022 09:08 pmGolem Girl
Series: Infinity Smashed
Summary: As a little girl, Grey sees an old silent film that makes her realize exactly what kind of woman she wants to become. Unfortunately, it's not the right kind.
Word Count: 500
Notes: The movie being mentioned, the Golem: How He Came Into The World, is a classic of silent horror film from 1920 and thus is in the public domain. You can watch it here, and the golem looks like this. Content warning for implied child abuse.
When Grey is little, she sees an old silent movie called der Golem on dollar day at the drive-in theater, which is owned by a friend of her father’s.
The film is faded and flickery, parts seem to be missing, and all the text is in German, but none of that matters, because in a silent movie, nobody talks. What’s more, when the golem appears, Grey’s riveted. She’s too young to know what that leap in her heart means, but when she sees the golem’s hair and dress, her strength to hold up a collapsing ceiling, she knows that’s who she wants to be. She wants to be the girl who can save everyone. She wants to be a woman who can hold up the world.
