Till Death We Merge

Chapter 1

 

This is a story

about a man

who moved into a house

by himself

 

 

Chapter 2

 

He had a hard time

maintaining this house

Everything always seemed

so out of place

 

 

Chapter 3

 

Little did he know

a woman had been

killed here

years ago

 

 

Chapter 4

 

She was particular

about where things went

The man was a mess

Didn’t even realize

 

 

Chapter 5

 

things were moving

at the woman’s whim

the woman who had been

murdered by her husband

 

 

Chapter 6

 

in cold blood

She had lived in

this house for over

100 years

 

 

Chapter 7

 

Everyone who had ever

stepped foot in this house

ran away screaming

But not this man because

 

 

Chapter 8

 

he was openly pleasant

to her ghostly existence

Until

she got her revenge

 

 

Chapter 9

 

Thinking the man

was her husband

she jammed a cleaver

into his jugular

 

 

Chapter 10

 

But she was mistaken

He was nothing like

her husband

He was just awkward

 

 

Chapter 11

 

And now

he was dead

He appeared to her

his ghostly form as clear as skin

 

 

Chapter 12

 

They sat down together

at the kitchen table

and dined there

for the rest of eternity

 

 

Chapter 13

 

The man was happy

in death

The woman was happy

and now they could rest
