My visual and literary references stands for a children concept; Passing through Coraline and The Secret World and Alice in Wonderland, those magic and free narratives always enchanted me. I think it could give for a ‘created universe’ great richness into details, being seem by a pure perspective. Think about children that live with you or even yourself as a children; aren’t their visions more clear than ours, after greeting adult lives?
Well, ‘Vicky Sick’ is not so pure as Alice and Coraline, despite the references; I tried to give it a more mature discussion, with abusive parenting, bullying, mental issues and it’s medications and, going more deeply, a female ill existence on a misogyny society. The idea of story is for 16+ or young adult.
Synopsis

Few haundreds years later, the family had decreased a lot; money are short and children are rare.

Unfortunately, she’s have been suffered some life damages; being a only girl to carry the ‘Sike’ name seem not enough for her disgrace – she also get several illnesses, since as a baby. Local doctors, preachers and pharmacists had turned her intimate friends since childhood. None of them had sucess into help, letting Victoria sick all her life.
If children are evil sometimes, preteens could be double of it. Victoria soon received the nickname Vicky Sick by other young persons. The jokes made her mom imprisoned the little girl inside home, alone.
