The promise
Last minute decorations were being added.
Excitement permeated the wedding venue.
The Bride felt nothing except anxiety.
She loved another.
The bridegroom arrived amid loud fanfare.
Everyone rushed to welcome them.
The Bride clutched the phial of poison tightly. He had promised…
Suddenly the gaiety was disrupted by a band of masked men on horses.
They fired.
Bandits!!
People screamed.
The gang leader scooped the bride up on his horse.
As they rode across the border, the bride hugged the Bandit.
“I was so afraid.”
“You needn’t have. I never break a promise,” replied her lover, hugging her back.
