You don't spare the feeling of the sensitive do you sweetie?
This is a too common story in all cultures and it cannot be told often enough or shockingly enough. Well done again.

Candida, You built this fable well, goiing from the nervous youthful innocence of the wedding to the horror and brutality of the awful aftermath. This holds so much that is evil and yet true. Very well done!
