Scary Stories and Other Things

The Bridge

She didn't hesitate dropping her 5 year old from that bridge into the unforgiving rocks some 80 feet.

She was perfect, her husband was perfect, having an ugly son is unacceptable. The husband was devastated, while she did a lot of faking.

A year passed and she gave birth to another, this time to a beautiful baby girl. He was again, satisfy and at last she was too.

 Some 5 years later she had a walk with her daughter on that familiar bridge. Midway through, her daughter hugged her very tightly. "What's wrong, sweetie?", She asked. Her daughter said with a whimper, "I'm scared, so scared, I love you mommy, I've always loved you." "Oh, I love you too sweetheart. But what are you afraid of?" "I'm afraid you'll drop off the bridge, again."
