Gail, we visited that place last weekend and visited his car 'museum.' He portrayed himself as 'never married.'
Sad story and hard to put in 106 words. You did good. .. Oh yes, my other blog, Jim's Little Blog has some of my fellow's car collection for "C" alphabet posting. But my Saturday Centus is here, Jim's Alphabe-Thursday ..
OK "Agatha", when is the book coming out? Very well done and we have all seen cases of those "signs", right. You do thrill me with your short stories - almost time for the full blown version. Cheers
And a movie I would say to my husband, "Yeah, I'm NOT gonna see that!"
Really excellent writing here.
Love your talent!

She married young and she married “up” as they call rising above your present condition. Her parents agreed. Instead of providing a dowry they were given one.
It was a whirlwind courtship.
Alone except for her new strange husband in a large mansion, everything most young girls dream about.
The nights were not what her mother had told her.
She found her solace outdoors and with the horses.
The husband was not pleased with her newly found distractions.
In bed he softly said, “You could have had it all.” His large hands closed tightly around her neck. Her last sight was insanity in his eyes.

Marrying up turned sadly down . . . Another case of seeing the "signs" before it is too late . . . and you told the whole story in 106 . . .

Wow, Gail. Once again, I didn't see it coming. LOL You know, with retiring, there will be time for that book. And I want to be the first to buy one!

That was a twist wasn't it? So much for marrying "up".
Good write.

Incredibly chilling and visual.
This is like a movie trailer...

Really excellent writing here.
