Ode to Rebecca
Life Was a Willow and More — #6
The woman knew she was in love with a mirage.
Paranoia ran through her as she wondered if she would become another ghost left to wander, listless and alone, outside a mansion doomed to burn. She had nothing but the clothes on her back, really, but her husband thought her a nuisance already.
If she stayed with him, she could foresee her own murder.
She may never again know a kiss like his, but she knew better from the whispers of things in the dark.
She wouldn’t become like Rebecca, that wife who was blamed for her own untimely death.
