Chapter 62: The dotted line

Owen’s girlfriend refused to sign the final papers to mark the finishing of the haunted house renovations. Her hand hovers in the air with stiff joints as she struggles to hold the pen. She was definitely reluctant to sign off the papers. Her nose twitched and she turned away, her eyes staring into the distance at nothing and yet something slowly dawned on her mind. It was disgust. Absolute disgust at the state of affairs.

Owen walked up to his girlfriend, tapping her on the shoulder. He shielded his hands and whispered a few words to his girlfriend. However he was unfortunately unable to change her mind. Her decision was resolute. She was determined to see it through at all costs.

Owen’s girlfriend flips through the papers, feeling through the rough edges of the pages. Then in a single swift motion, she pulled and tore the paper straight in half. Owen saw the scene with blind shock, he recoiled backwards, stumbling into the wall behind him. His head touched the gently rough surface, he bleeds blood red as it trickles down from his head.

Owen’s girlfriend was caught off guard. She was shocked. She immediately got up to rush to get the first aid kit. There, there were band aids of every size. Owen’s girlfriend apologised profusely and kept her head low while she taped the band aid on his head and blew a kiss.

Owen ran his hand through the fibres of his hair. He felt the blood on his fingers, as they dripped through and dropped onto the ground drip by drip. Owen’s face turned into that of a demon. His face never looked as scary, but he just looked fiercely at his girlfriend. He clenched his fists tightly, chest pumping, it was going to be hard to slap her.
