She stood in the darkroom looking out the windows never suspecting the sinister fate in her immediate future, her thoughts far away. He stalked towards her from the shadows, never making a sound. He grabbed her by her long white gown and pulled her to the carpet. She screamed and he laughed,"scream all you want my dear, there's no one else home. It's just you and me" He watched as terror filled her eyes in pleasure. She has just registered that this time there was no stopping him. She beat his chest with her fragile hands and struggled like a butterfly but he was the hulk to her hobbit. His hands wrapped around her neck like a lover and he began to squeeze. Finally he had her just where he wanted her, his beautiful mother.
He saw the light die from her eyes and realised that it was what he had searched for all along. He looked at the hands that just took away the life that gave him life and stil feel the rush in his veins. She lay on the carpet- a fairy tale princess .
The sound of the front door opening brought him crashing back to reality. His wife had returned. There was no time to hide, she stepped in to the room and saw the cranage. He looked into her eyes and said,"am sorry..am so sorry" he began to shiver.
She walked up to him and held his hands. "Its ok. I understand. You had to". She smiled as she hugged him to her chest. Only she knew the darkness that dwelled in him and she knew he needed help but how else would she control him.
"Come to bed", she said,"I will take care of the body for you". Thus she led him away from the pillow he had strangled and torn apart.
