That One Night
‘Joan blinked, then stared at what appeared to be a shadowy figure standing near the garage. Squinting, she tried to make out the dark form. Joan froze, her faded eyes widened.
“Please don’t make me!”
Unable to stop herself, she opened the door.’

Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor
She watched him, every day standing behind the shroud of lace, dreaming that he would come to her, taking her body and soul to the heavens. But then, there was another who stole his heart, taking whatever chance she had at having him for herself and dashing her dreams of his embrace.
A story of love and blind desire so volatile, it darkens the lustful heart of the woman behind the lace, a darkness that demands its place in the world.
