When I turned and found them lingering in the doorway,268Please respect copyright.PENANAI5d1BqDla5
I knew something was up as I set down the food tray,268Please respect copyright.PENANAJWQMFQHteq
She had hair that was as filthy as the gutter itself,268Please respect copyright.PENANAPV4aJXwqWl
And even her brown eyes screamed of pity and hell,268Please respect copyright.PENANAateEACuUGF
Her face clearly expressed ‘party all night, sleep all day,’268Please respect copyright.PENANAmvtLFADH3Y
I know girls like these, the ones who lead rich innocent boys astray,268Please respect copyright.PENANA2S77epRKDs
My daughter in law, a high school dropout?268Please respect copyright.PENANAWW0W5qn98i
I might as well suffer from a serious blackout,268Please respect copyright.PENANAiGmFMClhpG
When he moved out and rented himself that 19th century apartment,268Please respect copyright.PENANAzxVQeDG9j0
My gosh, I couldn’t believe it! An aristocrat locked up in a dirty ol’ compartment?268Please respect copyright.PENANAH70PPmDHYE
For someone who gave him nothing but trouble,268Please respect copyright.PENANAaWOigjwCo9
Slept with men that were her equal, their lives also crumbled,268Please respect copyright.PENANAnZU5esNFHr
Without her, my son was going to be a rich enough oligarchy,268Please respect copyright.PENANAghvyI2U37a
Marrying a girl that matched his status, a girl with endless dowry,268Please respect copyright.PENANAhq8zroddK4
But now, he thinks some dang glowers are talking to him,268Please respect copyright.PENANAKKAIMXTf5c
I suspect that witch cursed him, right before sweet death left her dim,268Please respect copyright.PENANA4NXeKEwdia
And now, his death had left me quite weak,268Please respect copyright.PENANA8AIlI66e4d
Unable to maneuver myself, unable to speak,268Please respect copyright.PENANAjAbKphcYtt
I only wanted best for him, only wanted him to succeed,268Please respect copyright.PENANAY9W6G7B5d0
But one thing I did not know, that his death would soon lead,268Please respect copyright.PENANADK8QnRxSRp
My son, my poor innocent bundle of joy,268Please respect copyright.PENANA9YkkhKTQfH
Whom I used to buy the most expensive of toys,268Please respect copyright.PENANAUjRXcHo0TD
Now his face purple, dark marks tainted on his neck,268Please respect copyright.PENANAgUCmHrQ1y0
My life is over, no more parties on the deck.
