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.

So that's why her parents were given a dowry. It's a sad story. Too bad about the horses. xox
Haunting. I'll be thinking about this all day!

oh my...creepy...that one gave me chills. Nicely done!
Yikes! That one gave me the chills.

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
..
Chilling words on a hot summer day.
Oh my, scary centus lol.
See, you could write lots of stuff like this.
Scary but good!
I didn't see that coming.
Great story. Thanks for sharing.
Have you been reading the papers again.....?
Marrying up turned sadly down . . . Another case of seeing the "signs" before it is too late . . . and you told the whole story in 106 . . .
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
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.

I amazed how you can say so much with so little words! Wow! This WAS creepy. I'll tell you what....I'm sleeping on the couch tonight!
Oh dear, scary too! But nicely spun!
Incredibly chilling and visual.
This is like a movie trailer...
And a movie I would say to my husband, "Yeah, I'm NOT gonna see that!"
Really excellent writing here.
Love your talent!
