Oh, that’s grim and sad. I’d like to take that woman to a movie and buy her all the popcorn she wants.
Same. The death of a marriage is always hard to watch.
Tricky tricky!
Oh this was sad. I really liked the disjointed frame of mind perspective.
Thank you.
That was fantastic!
Brilliantly done, especially as a monologue. Reminded me of one of those Tales of the Unexpected. I could imagine some great northern actress performing this, perhaps on Radio 4 or in one of those old BBC2 plays for today.
Thanks, Evelyn. I have a few monologues like this. Might herd them and stick them in a book.
Good idea. I’m sure you have enough shorter pieces to fill a collection by now…
There are a few. Theming pieces is hard, and requires a bit of time. I'll get there eventually.
Great twist!
Thanks, Fran. She did kill her husband in an earlier iteration of this tale, but I decided this was better. My readers are starting to worry. 🤣
Brilliant!
Thank you. Sadder than the first version of this tale, but I like it.
Like that Hanna, out of the sheer drudgery and madness of a situation comes the rhymes striving to hold sanity together..
Yes. The mundane can bring out the madness. Thank you for reading.
Madness. Sheer madness.
Very creepy... and that almost-singsong narration just adds to it! 😱
