Over and Done

Chess 2: Chess Board

All is over and done,
Rooms seem stark,
Black against White.
Shadows wander,
Chess moves,

Death to the king: Checkmate

White against Black.
Petals losing fragrance,
Converting, dropping.

Odor of endings.

Elizabeth George...How dare you!




She slammed the book closed, and threw it across the room.  How DARE you end it this way…! She roared.

Susan steamed and stewed, gazing at the book lying ignominiously on the floor.  Elizabeth George had betrayed her.  Susan had followed the words through over six-hundred pages, barely breathing at different points.  Susan had been faithful in buying these tomes, but this was really going too far.


The guilty book, What Came before He Shot Her, lay quietly on the floor.  What a cruel way to end this…this…mystery… Susan muttered.

She stalked over to the book and scooped it up.  Susan shoved it into its slot in the bookcase, and then she paused.

Well, maybe I will forgive Elizabeth George this one time…as she slid the next book, This Body of Death: An Inspector Lynley Novel, from its place.  But she had better not do it again!  All 873 pages and I will be reading each one!!!
A summary of the book...


 Ms. George has published more books since the above shown.  Here is her discussion on Careless in Red.



P.S.  I will be out and about with my hubby on vacation trips.  Please comment!  But I won't be able to reply until I find my computer desk again.  Thanks! Plus, I am not really angry at Elizabeth George...just...a little maybe.

Joy of Words





Beginnings are quiet,
Bursting into flaming passion,
Brilliant blinding joy.
What was sweet, so sweet,
Slowly drifts to bitter
Regret
And
Reluctant endings.
