Nescio (8)


NESCIO (8)


The sister was enraged.

She resented the brother for finding another life without her.

(She decided to get engaged.)

As the years went by she began to go spare; wherever she looked, the brother wasn't there.

She screamed inside and pulled out her hair.

(The wedding was a quiet affair. She wasn't prepared to change her name.)

She learned to believe that, when things went wrong, it was her who was to blame.

(The marriage didn't last that long.)

The priestess was too pissed to care.

Fractional Posts - Writing Life (Partially)


WRITING LIFE (PARTIALLY)


The father fell out
Of love with the mother.
And, soon, declared
Marry another.

The mother broken.
Too much heart
Left her bitter.

Refused to get over
The fact.
He'd quit her.

A veritable show
Of power.
