**********
She showered all her love and attention on her newborn. She couldn’t understand her husband’s jealousy. Or his weird stares. Or sad face. But she didn’t care; her son needed her.
He finally couldn’t take it and showed her their son’s grave. He had been still born. 2 years ago.
Love can do strange things.

31 May 2010 at 2:20 pmNice twist. Good attempt. But it was not as good as your post on Blog-a-ton ‘escape’.I feel you could have shown that the child was dead in a better way.
PNA
31 May 2010 at 3:12 pmYes, it had that effect on me too…. hairs standing up….

But I love ur post… 🙂

1 June 2010 at 7:35 pmtook my tiny brain a while to get that… i misunderstood it at first and I was like what has she written? But when I did, all i could say is wow! I would have written a huge story to get that scene out and u got it in a fiction 55? Wow again!
Cheers!

Psych Babbler

4 June 2010 at 12:37 amThanks T! Another of my sister’s creations…I’m still a bit partial to the previous one but like this one too =)
The Fool
4 June 2010 at 12:38 amI meant – ‘showed her the son’s grave’ – i felt that somehow it did not logically fit and could have been slightly tweaked to give a better effect. She is obviously gone crazy because she knows her son is dead but had begun to believe he is alive. So what will showing her the grave accomplish?

4 June 2010 at 5:11 amBeen reading your posts for a long time – delurked now
Psych Babbler
4 June 2010 at 9:54 amGiven that the son was still born, she has been depressed and deluded since…the showing of the grave is meant to represent a reality check…a step towards getting her to accept what has happened.
Psych Babbler
4 June 2010 at 10:54 amAh…well, I’m really glad you de-lurked! =)
