Fatima’s Descent

Fatima tended to operate only within her local community of Muslim culture, and she insisted upon dressing rather strictly per her religious teachings, limiting her public wardrobe to coverings that left only her eyes, hands, and sometimes feet exposed.  This got her noticed, as the local good ol' boys considered that to be extreme.  Her landlord became curious, wondering what she was hiding under there.  The interest became a fixation, as he applied more and more effort to the investigation. Once he discovered what WAS under there, it led to a confrontation, the results of which took them both by surprise, and the shockwaves from it echoed through both her community and his!  But was what happened to her a descent, or something else?
