The Night He Lost His Head
Praying Won’t Help
She had been single for years. Rumor was, she could be a little aggressive. It would take the right man to tame her ways.
They met in the woods, both out searching for companionship.
She spotted him first, and immediately she was hungry for his attention. As she approached, he noticed her, and smiled.
He began a dance, of sorts, to impress her, and it seemed to work.
Before he knew what was happening, she was all over him. Selfishly, she took what she wanted. He struggled slightly, then, without warning, she bit his head off.
She preyed.

My Husband Died Twice—Once in the Hospital, Once in Our Bedroom
The first time my husband died, there were machines all around him. They spoke softly, rhythmically, as if they were trying to convince everyone in the room that life was still going on. The doctor spoke in careful sentences, the nurses avoided my eyes, and I stood there holding his hand, waiting for something to change.
