The Gathering 01.90 – Little Known Fact pt 5

            Marina stood at the small, yet elegant grave site, looking down at the mound of dirt that now covered her mother’s eternal resting place.  Her mother.  She reflected on the thought of that word, she’d never known the woman truly, in mere passing.  She’d been born, then left, then, nothing. 

            Now she’d past how appropriate.  She heard her father’s muffled foot steps behind her, muted by the thick carpet of grass that was manicured, and perfectly taken care of. 

            “Will you be staying for a while?”  He asked formally and she chuckled to herself, how in the ***** could he even fathom her staying there with him.  She closed her eyes; holding in the anger that was still tingling on her flesh as he stood behind her.  I’ll take care of you now, the words played in her mind and they sounded so wrong.  Jenny.

            Her new thought of the day had been Jenny.  The sultry woman that she’d abandoned in LA a mere week ago.  She wondered if she suffered for her as she suffered for Jenny.  She needed to hold her, to let all her woes come pouring out to her.  To spill her heart and soul to the thin girl she called lover.

            “I’ll be leaving in a few days I would like to at least enjoy the countryside while I am here.  If only for a day.”  She admitted opening her eyes and staring again at the fresh dirt.  Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust.

            “I would enjoy your company.”  He said a small smile graced her lips.  A wickedly evil smile, feeling how cold her heart was towards him.

            “I am not as rich as you think Father.  I am a common store owner in America.  I will not take you with me to take care of you; you may think that is callus.  It is you never took care of me, and I shall now return the favor.  Because I have the power to do that now.”  Marina turned on her heels and walked passed him, leaving him to look at his wife’s grave.
