Missing Heart

Posted on by areadingwriter

An eerie blanket of silence wrapped the courtroom. The accused stood, confidently, without a trace of remorse on his rather innocence eyes.

Without reading the grim report of a young married woman who went missing, then body parts being discovered one by one– legs, arms, head– none can even guess the suspect would be a youthful teenager. Until he confessed and surrendered and then plead not guilty.

“I thought I am guilty of killing her, but I am not. I did not kill her. I just took back what she said is mine before she married that stupid man.”

No one tried to speak.

“Her heart is mine, and will forever be mine. I buried it under the logs beside my home, our could have been home.  I gave her back to the world who never dared to accept us. I only kept her heart. What is wrong with that?”

  6. Powerful Rosema. I have sat across an interview table with people like this. It is good how you have kept real the way they justify what they do.

  11. My gosh, Rosema, he’s my kind of psycho! I’ll definitely read a full-length story on this. If he couldn’t have her, then no one else could so he killed her and kept her heart from loving another. ❤ ❤
