The Possession

The warning signs were always there, if I’d opened my eyes and looked. Love is blind.
It’s only when a crisis happened that the mask fell away and her true self was revealed … I was married to a monster!
Many people are grumpy in the mornings, I reasoned.
Road rage is common, even in the aisles of Tesco.
I ignored the signs; oblivious.
It was only when we reached the maternity ward that her inner- beast was unleashed.
Her verbal abuse was deplorable. I feared we might need to call an exorcist.
Right on cue, she’d start projectile vomiting.
