The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.

She gazed lovingly at the dead bee, its abdomen torn apart. She lifted it by one wing and placed it in the throat of a white lily. What sweetness she imagined as she closed the lid on the honey pot.

The cramp was sudden.
She clutched her silken dress to her stomach as she lurched forward into the pool.
