THE KEYHOLE

You’re more beautiful than the others. A rare gem.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, breasts large enough to smother me until dawn. You don’t know it yet, but you’re already mine.

I see how your sins cling to your skin, how you bite that plump lip and scan the grounds as if someone might rescue you.

They will not.

I imagine all the ways I’ll ruin you. The whimpers, the pleading, the way your body will tremble at my command.

Your pretty features will look exquisite contorted with pain. You might even make a lovely corpse.

Welcome to Rochester Manor, my sweet Annalisa. Enjoy being my plaything. The others never lasted, but you might last long enough.
