Thursday Tale #52

by Ruxi at DeviantArt.
The sight of her dying bouquet was too much to contemplate. After the debacle at the church, she’d rushed home, wallowing in a bout of self pity, sadness, but eventually anger. Now, emotion spent, she longed for cool. Still wearing her wedding dress, she joined the spider’s webs that swung gently in the morning mist.

    For me, the master (mistress?) stroke is that last sentence.

    I agree with Dave, that last line has great impact in the writing. Would love to know what she is thinking next?
