A Winter Walk

One dark and treacherous evening, a man betrayed the love of his life after fifty bitter years of marriage. The man packed his bags and left the country in a carriage with his new young bride through what was known as the King's Forest. Stubborn as a mule, the old hag was determined to follow him to his grave. She threw a few items into a suitcase, grabbed her cane and headed into the blizzard after him. Knowing that she would follow him, the man had paid the townspeople to terrorize her as she journeyed through the forest. Scared out of her wits and thinking that Death had imprinted her name in his book, the old lady succumbed to her fate.
