Rachel’s Box, Page 5

PANEL 1

Close-up of Rachel's face looking confused and frightened.

RACHEL: "W-who are you?"

PANEL 2

A small winged fairy figure hovers above the pithos. She appears feminine and delicate.

FAIRY: "I am Masturbation."

PANEL 3

Rachel sits on the ground, viewed from behind, looking up at the fairy.

PANEL 4

Close-up of the Masturbation fairy looking serene with closed eyes and curly hair.

MASTURBATION: "Through me you may sate your curiosity while avoiding the perils of sex."

In later versions of the Pandora’s Box myth, Hope is the only thing left in the box. But it was really just tacked on as an after thought.

In my version, the Masturbation Fairy remains! I wish I could have drawn her up close, because she’s got a neat design: big hands, cat ears, a peplos, sharp teeth, very cat-like.
