If you had written this story, what would you have done differently?
The Odd Couple
They were pretty strange. Both of them. She wore red from head to toe. Her hat was red, her shoes were red and so was everything in between.
Her husband looked like a beggar, but what surprised me the most was the fact that he didn't speak at all.
Every morning at breakfast, all the guests stopped talking when they walked into the restaurant. Everybody stared at them, but nobody talked to them and they didn't seem to care.
And then one day they disappeared. We thought they had left, but later on in the afternoon we were told they had been murdered in their room.
My mind moved in circles and landed on the stupidest of assumptions. At least, the blood wouldn't be visible on the woman's clothes. And her husband's would be dirty, but did it matter? After all, they were in tatters. Cruel thoughts, I reprimanded myself.

ReplyDeleteA good story that makes you think and you want to know what happened.
Maybe if the cuple had worn white clothes the story could have been more shocking...
Very good answer, Sandra. I can't stop laughing.
