Love Never Dies

If I could write a story about anything I know, what would I say? How about I don't write about love, and heartbreaks, and everything else that goes with it. "Oh well," she said. "Oh well, it's only one more day."


He pounded her hard against the wall. He pounded her hard, and moved with long, slow thrusts. He had to make sure she was tight. He thrust the nail in further, making her face look beautiful as it hung from the wall. Her body hung there, limp and bloody. He stepped back with his hammer and put one hand to his brow and mumbled, "This is what I always wanted." Indeed it was, her face with a look of pure fear, making her eyes almost fall out of their sockets. The hair on her head was soaked in blood; her own. He tossed the hammer into his tool box and drug it out to the garage. As he slammed it onto the bench, he thought of how much things had progressed in their years of love. Now he could have her whenever he'd like. He left her clothes torn, revealing her body like some sex goddess, and her position was perfect for him to get in whenever he needed.
