A Long Night

The night stretches endlessly as a woman plots with her secret lover to kill her spouse. Together, they meticulously dispose of his remains, ensuring no trace is left behind. But when darkness falls, she is tormented by the ghost of the man she betrayed. His spectral presence lingers, a relentless reminder of her guilt. Sleep eludes her as whispers echo through the empty halls, his accusing gaze burning into her soul. Desperation claws at her sanity—how can she escape the haunting of her own making? The lover grows distant, sensing the unraveling of her mind. Shadows twist into familiar shapes, mocking her with every glance. She wonders if repentance could banish the apparition, or if she is doomed to endure this torment forever. The weight of her crime presses heavier with each passing hour, and dawn offers no solace.
