The long Black dress
One long summer afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Marco decide to take a walk down by the beach. They lived on a hill by the beach, and it was the only house up there. The Marco’s had been married for about 5 years now and they still had no children yet. They were very well dressed people and were known by everyone in the town. Once they came back from the beach Mr. Marco decided he wanted to take his wife out to dinner at a very fancy restaurant. Mr. Marco wore a nice gray and pink tux and Mrs. Marco wore a nice short pink dress that she had gotten as a present from her very good friend. They got to the restaurant, and their table was prepared already and they had a waiter waiting and ready to serve them. Mrs. Marco didnt understand why her husband had took her out. Usually he would have a reason, but this time he didnt and she thought that was a bit too strange. She didnt complain though. After dinner their limo was ready for them outside the restaurant. On their way homw thwy has a small talk bout having kids and they both came to a conclusion that they didnt want any. After a couple of weeks Mrs. Marco started wearing a black long dress. This went on for a long time. The town’s people started getting very nosey and suspecious about this. The knew that Mr. and Mrs. Marco did not have children, but they never knew why so now they really wondered. They couldnt understand why all of a sudden she started dressind like she was gothic. One day her neighboor had woke up to her son dead in bed. She did not understand how her son died beause he was very healthy and had nothing wrong with him. Next thing you know her neighboor two doors down had a child and she died 3 weeks after the other boy. The town was not understanding what was happening to their children but they did suspect Mrs. Marco. Ever since she starte wearing the black long dresses everything began to go wrong. She herself had not noticed what the problem was until they got a notice that they had to move out of their beautiful mansion. They also wrote thema a letter soncerning the situation but they just didnt understand why they were acussing Mrs. Marco. After sometime Mrs. Marco finally had a child and stopped wearing the black dresses and when her old town’s people heard about it, they blamed her for the death of their children and were convinced that her and those black dresses had to do something with them.
