My fantasy was that she had been staked at the water's edge and left to drown for some crime
They did that to a 17-year old Covenanter girl named Margaret Wilson in Wigtown Bay in SW Scotland in 1685. John Everett Millais painted a picture of her in 1871, using a rejected version of his 'Knight Errant', which has a nude girl tied to a tree; he changed her so that she's chained to a stake with dark sea licking around her, but he painted clothes on her - spoilsport! She's quite sweet though, find her via Google.
This whole theme links with a very very favourite fantasy of mine, being Andromeda, chained to a rock by the crashing waves, waiting for that briny beast to burst through the surf - bugger off Perseus, I'll cope with this myself!
