Fate brought him there again
after 30 years. Everything looks the same.
The same room, same walkway.
He could hear her voice ringing in his ears. Her laughter that echoed all over
this magnificent room.
This palace that he built
specially for her.
Only he knows the secret, the
dark secret that this palace has.
He looks up the ceiling to see this
beautifully carved chandelier, and immediately steps away from it.
For, 30 years back, right beneath this floor, he killed and buried
her right under this chandelier in this very room

What on earth did she do to deserve such a fate? I suppose he's afraid to sell the place instead his secret is discovered.
ReplyDeletestrange he could manage to hear her laughter??
ReplyDeleteWell, this wasn't this kind of memory or reunion I had anticipated!
ReplyDeletewhy did he have to come back? i think i know. deep inside, he wanted to be caught.
ReplyDeleteDear Dee Dee
ReplyDeleteI have to wonder why he'd return to the scene of his crime. Intriguing.
Shalom,

ReplyDeleteLizzy, he ran off from this place, fate got him her back. too afraid to sell the place.
ReplyDeleteI B arora, he had got her here to show this palace he built for her, she was happy to be with the man she loved,but he was so enraged that she confronted him about his affairs that he had to kill her, he deceived her
ReplyDeleteLorna, not all reunions are happy
ReplyDeletePlaridel, it might be karma, what goes around comes around. He had to come back ones to close the circle of life
ReplyDeleteRochelle, Why he came back was fate. It got him here back. on some pretext, he had to finish what he started
ReplyDeleteGrisly, but maybe it was the better alternative? Nice story!
ReplyDeleteThey always return to the scene of the crime, and he heard her laughter, because she was about to get her revenge! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Perry
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice way to look at it Yolanda, Thanks for this side of the insight :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, he didn't play fair. If she was laughing and happy - why did he kill her and bury her there? I just don't understand men sometimes! Nan
ReplyDeleteHe deceived her Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSo the guilty party returns to the scene of the crime. I guess no one guessed. Well done, Dee Dee. :) --- Suzanne
