“So, you really mean to say you won’t be attending the engagement party? It will be the social event of the season.”
“I simply refuse, refuse I say, to attend any function hosted by that bitch. Merry widow, indeed! What is this, her third or fourth husband?”
“I…well…I’m not quite sure. Does it matter?”
“To you, I suppose not. But then it wasn’t your baby brother whose head she bit off just last year. Now, was it?”
This story was written for the weekly Friday Fictioneers photo prompt.
Clever use of the spider theme!
ReplyDeleteI like the references to "Merry widow" and the brother whose head she bit off the year prior. Quite the web of drama.
ReplyDeleteAwesome website theme, by the way. Creates the perfect ambiance.
