One of the seven. Fasted with her.
One of the seven maids from the palace Hegai gave Esther when she arrived. I stayed with her when she became queen. I told her about the man in sackcloth, and I went without food with her for three days. The Bible doesn’t name me.

Everyone who meets her likes her. Everyone.
The queen’s in a real state today. We told her about the man in sackcloth at the gate. She sent out clothes for him to wear instead. He sent them back.
The queen isn’t eating. Neither are we. Three days, she says.
Her people. The ones in Haman’s order. The queen is one of them. And she’s said so to the king, with Haman sitting right there.
Harbonah@harbonahShe asked for her life. And her people’s lives. They’ve been sold to be destroyed, she said. If it had only been slavery, she’d have kept quiet and not bothered the king.Replying to @queenesther
And there’s fasting in there too. I remember three days of it.
