This week’s Story Starter teaser is:
“There’s no cure for a beast like me,” Victor said, a sardonic smile on his face.
Marcia thought he was kidding and laughed, thinking she liked his beasty side. She was so tired of her milk toast husband and his practical daily schedule that only included a five minute conversation during dinner. Then he would go into his study and she wondered just what he did in there since he always kept it locked. He never showed affection and a once a month routine for supposed romance was not satisfying. She wondered how many other arranged marriages ended up like this. Marcia decided to sneak out to the local pub and found Victor, the all too willing participant to fulfill her desires. At their third meeting he told her “There’s no cure for a beast like me,” Victor said, a sardonic smile on his face. She thought she was ready for the beast. Marcia became the next victim in a long line of dissatisfied women.
