Two Sick Lovers

Rosalie Greyback lives a troubled life with her abusive, strict father. Struggling with trying to cope with living with her father, she seeks a bit of color in her dull, grey life. That color she craves so badly finds her in the shape of a beautiful young woman named Margaret. They fall into a love that is forbidden during the times they live in, and is punishable by horrific means. Will Rosalie and Margaret find peace? Will they live happily ever after? Or will they suffer the consequences of being "sick with sin". Find out in my short story "Two Sick Lovers".

I wrote this as a project for my creative writing class. It's just a simple short story, but I decided to upload it anyway. My inspiration for this was my own thoughts. I always wondered what it was like to be gay in the past, when people were more unaccepting of gays. I assume the LGBT members just buried that part of them and pretended to be straight. I wrote this to depict what I imagined when I wondered what gays did in the past, basically.
