Letting Her Fall
The cold knife sank into my body, and I collapsed at my cousin Monica Newman's feet.
Blood kept pouring out of me, soaking through the carpet.
Even as I died, I couldn't understand it. She was the one who had begged me over and over to steal her papers from her mother so that she could get married.
Yet now that her life wasn't as comfortable as she had hoped, she blamed everything on me, claiming that I had pushed her into getting married.
As my body grew colder and colder, Monica's cruel curses faded along with my breath.
