Love at First Fright

Rain, I could smell it in the salty air.

It tasted like death.

Smelled like death.

Today was her funeral, and I was going.

I didn’t tell the guys. They wouldn’t understand. They only knew what was in front of them. She wasn’t in front of me.

She was my sickness, my want and my need. I didn’t even know her that long. But when I met her she was something different.

I got ready in my best dress clothing and placed my fedora on my head and sunglasses on my face.

I ran down the stairs. I was going to be late for the funeral.

I stood away from a far.

I could see her beauty wavering off of her.

Even in death she was perfect…….

Awake

I cracked in the middle of the night.

Her funeral was later today. She could be gone from me.

I got dressed in clothes on the floor ran downstairs to the garage and straight into my car.

I drove to the funeral home.

Once there I didn’t see anyone there.

Not even the funeral director.

Funny thing was, when I got near the doors they were already unlocked.

Strange!

I walked inside and saw her casket was still open.

The closer I got the more nervous I was.

I saw her.

Sleeping like a twisted snow white.

Even in death she was beautiful.

Porcelain skin and ruby red lips. She’s was all mine to have.

I kissed her cold dead lips.

I placed on my gloves and grabbed her out of the casket.

I then carried her bridal style out of here. She didn’t need this cold dark place.

Once outside I saw the car and placed her in the front gently.

“Dude, you’re fucking sick!” I heard someone say.

I nearly dropped myself when I saw Zacky standing there.

“What are you doing here?” I said composing myself.

“I knew you would snap. You’re fixated with her. So I felt obligated to help. Because no offense, we can’t have you go to prison.” He said.

“Thanks Zacky!” I said.

I drove home, and once inside the garage I opened the door of the car.

I grabbed her gently from the passenger side of the car and into the house.

Once inside I carried her to my room.

I placed her gently on my bed. I lay down next to her. She was cold. But I didn’t mind. I was glad.

I fell asleep with her in my arms.

But when I awoke the next morning she wasn’t there.
