Hearts and Curses

Two years ago . . . . . . . ., I was under the threat of death due to an ancestor's bad choices and greed
. . . . . . . . inhumane wants.
Two years ago I fell n love with someone past
. . . . . . . . and someone present.
But now the old witch of a great-grandma was dead - I made sure to watch as her corps caught flame in the afternoon sun and as they burnt to a crisp, Jase stood beside me.
. . . . . . . . . . . the fire for one love had faded . . . . . . but ashes remained and the other . . . . . . . . .
All in all, money matters little ( to me ), love does and everything I learned from anatomy class was of no use except in my job. Of course!
