Spinning, a grand ballroom, clouds of fabric billowing.
"I do".
Candlelight illuminating guests.
The carriage awaits.....
She; panting, screaming, begging...
"I looked him in the eye!"
"I wrestled free, firing everything left in my heart chamber!"
"I yelled; "bastard!"
'My body tripped, fell, incoming horses, hit, trampled on."
"I woke."
"Surrounded, doctors, nurses, machines".
"I stopped yelling, he was gone."
"We were gone."
She; motionless, lifeless, an 18th century statue, a bloody wedding dress, repudiated into hells frozen garden.
Her epiphany; his past was her hell.
Heaven was her future.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.

GENIUS
Colin Bernard Adams came into this world on Wednesday, 1975, April 3rd at 8:10am and weighed 7lbs, 4oz (3.289kg). He had a thick head of hair and bawled like a steer on its way to the slaughterhouse, when his umbilical cord was cut and knotted. His mom loved him right from the beginning, but his dad never had a chance; he was killed in Vietnam, a day before his son was born, when the helicopter flying his severely wounded body to a behind-the-lines hospital was shot down and exploded on impact. He had been a brave soldier (awarded the Silver Star posthumously).
