Foreword
Many young people are easily influenced to causes where they are led to believe they can contribute something positive. Often as not, they are not going to do anybody much good. In fact, they are very likely to do themselves, as well as others a lot of harm. Our story concerns a lovely young girl who was led to think she could do a lot of good working in the Cuban sugar fields. Instead, she discovered she was involved in a political nightmare.
Writing to her parents, she revealed some of the dreadful things she had witnessed first-hand that seemed not only "wrong" to her, but downright devilish. However, her letter was intercepted. And to those who read the letter, she had become a very dangerous person.
Reading between the lines, the authorities calculated she could be a very dangerous person. They didn't want her around, and quickly worked to imprison her. With the proof in their hands that she had composed a letter full of critical things to say about the government, she soon discovered how private judgment is not permitted under dictatorships. And to her vain regret, she had to serve time in a hell-hole of a prison.
Figuring, she was an ally of the Cuban underground, seeking to undermine the existing government, assorted efforts were made to extract the truth from her. Never before in her young life had she known such terror or torture. She couldn't make them understand her letter was only a personal criticism. She couldn't convince them she was not working for any underground movement. As a consequence, she was introduced to a series of torture-devices, created to extract the "truth". And being a beautiful young girl some of the guards saw fit to taunt, and torture her. But when they used her as a sex pawn, she felt the worst of all. She tried in vain to make them understand she was no "threat" to them. But, they refused to listen. Eventually she did manage to escape. But not before she'd suffered enormously.
