I agree with the above, I think the idea of being driven to delusion by a captor playing "God" and the idea of a hellish afterlife are very different (though both good) ideas. I personally found the killing at the end to be an abrupt shift of pace for this story; the euphemistic way you detail her torture is compelling and disturbing enough on its own.

I would almost end the story with "God" dying, and her remaining in her cell to starve believing that she must repent her sins. The idea of someone being so completely broken from their torture that they won't even walk out an open door past their dead rapist is pretty disturbing, which is what writing horror is all about isn't it?

Keep it up, I'm enjoying your work.
