A Love Tragedy Written By: Emmanuel

    This is the story of Scarlett Redstone & James Blackwell. Since the day Scarlett and James met, it was like their life has gotten better. On their first date, they went to get ice cream. They had fun. They danced and sing-a-long to whichever song got in their minds. It was a new beginning for both of them. They had a perfect life with their own baby daughter, Violette. Every weekend they go to the park and make a picnic. They are the perfect family. Everybody wanted a family like theirs.

     One night, James woke up from a beautiful dream to find out that his hands and legs were tied up. Next to him, he could see his baby Violette, just sleeping, probably dreaming with heaven in a place that will soon enough turn into a living hell. ‘Where’s my Wife?’ that’s what came to his mind. There she is, standing close to the door. He asked her why the hell was he tied up. She stares at him, just how a person stares at their crush when they are craving to screw them open. Scarlett showed him what she has in here hand, a knife. She told him that tonight was going to be the night he’ll die. He was confused, he didn’t understand the words that came out from his wife. He panicked and started to shake the bed hoping to get out of there. He only frightened Violette. Screams and tears were coming out of the baby. Scarlett walked directly to the crying Violette who was still next to James. He quickly got concerned for the life the baby. When Scarlett got close to Violette, she just put her hand on the baby’s mouth and nose so that she could shut up. James screamed and tried to release himself which didn’t distract Scarlett at all. In no time, they couldn’t hear the baby’s cries. James could untie himself and push Scarlett to the ground. He tried to shake the baby, like it could help revive her. Before he noticed, James was on the ground. Scarlett broke a vase on his head which caused him to lose conscience. It wasn’t long enough until he woke up, but to his surprise, Scarlett was standing up; and stabbing the beautiful baby, multiple times hoping to see the color purple. She was bummed, no color purple came out of Violette just bright red. Without Scarlett noticing James stood up, he was frightened but he didn’t quit yet. He gathered all his strength and pushed her as far as he could. She violently hit her head with the night stand, making her black out and instantly she felt like she’s in a dream.

    After days of fantasies and sleeping, she woke up. Her hands and legs were tied. Her vision was blurry. She also felt disoriented and cold. She noticed that the wall is plain white. Someone opened the door, a beautiful nurse. She had a long, blonde hair but it was organized into a neat bun. Scarlett still confused and weak from the sedation asked where her husband was. The nurse explained to her: that after she blacked out, she somehow stood up, took the knife while James was calling nine-one-one, and stabbed him in his neck causing him to lose blood and die. Disturbed, but the nurse wasn’t done. She carry on by saying that Scarlett tried to cut open James chest to see if he had a black heart. The nurse saw that Scarlett was about to burst into tears, so she stopped talking. She felt sad for her, so the nurse gave her a hug. After a second of the hug, something came out of Scarlett’ mouth; a sound, a giggle. She was crying, of laughter. The nurse startled by her reaction, left the room. Scarlett just stayed there laughing with her hands and legs tied up at the mental institution.
