Once Upon A Time

cursed

She warned us,we laughed. We kept laughing as she was being tortured. She looked at me and said "long live the king,you and your kingdom may forever live"

Maybe we were wrong. So I showed her mercy. I gave her a quick and painless end.

We all knew nothing until decades later. Maybe time didn't affect us,maybe we could live forever but though time couldn't bring our end ,swords and deceases would bring us endless torment as happened to my wife. I'd listen to her exhausted screams as her body was decomposing. She would beg me to end her suffering but how could I? I loved her so much. As her body began to shrink she could no longer talk but she'd look at me with her once beautiful and now melting eyes and I knew I had to do it. I stubbed,cut her, all in an effort to stop her endless suffering but her soul would refuse to leave her body. I could no longer take it and neither did she. I thought the only way was to cut of her head. And that's what I did.

Sometimes I think I still see her blinking through the glass jar I keep her head in, across my room.
