The Righteous And the Wicked
“Lights blink and stutter. Screams and laughter cascade from thrill-seekers on fast rides, and the delicious smell of things that are bad for you fill the air. Beneath the Ferris wheel, Danielle holds the hand of the giant child she will soon be married to. Sean is buzzing as they walk through the bright, noisy carnival, seeking ways to ingest sugar and win obnoxious and large stuffed animals. Her impending wedding is causing her much more joy and excitement than stress because of her doting and... considerate fiancé, and for that, she is grateful.
She smiles at him as he stuffs a chunk of fried dough in his mouth and then leans in to kiss her with powdered-sugar-coated lips. He lifts her up off the ground with his muscular arms and she closes her eyes, content with the life she has chosen. However, that feeling flees when she opens her eyes.
Through the crowd, she sees Eric and his presence causes disquiet. He walks with a woman, and Danielle feels pity for whoever it is. She wonders why anyone would choose to keep company with someone so rotten and despicable.MoreLess
