Chapter 1
Blanche's eyes fluttered as the rain poured over her face drenching the small cloth that was wrapped around her body. The now, blood soaked spork hung between her fingers swaying as she blinked staring at the body of the doctor who had attempted to "treat her". She stood up dropping the spork to the ground and walked off the asylum grounds smiling as she hummed a familiar tune "Varsouviana."
"Will you shut that kid up?!" Stanley screamed as he lit a new cigarette. He had just lost the previous hand and was now blessed with a pair of queens.
"I'm trying baby, the yelling just upsets her more" Stella cooed gently swinging the baby back and forth in her arms.
It was yet another late evening of poker. Since Stanley's promotion the evenings had become more fun filled and flamboyant within the small flat. With the promotion though Stella had noticed that Stanley had become more high strung in everyday life. His smoking had started back up and the abuse increased as well. Unbeknownst to Stella however the promotion had nothing to do with it. Two weeks earlier on Monday a telegram had arrived at the flat from the asylum that had carted off Blanche years earlier. It had simply stated that patient number 3546 had "left" the grounds and had killed a doctor as well as two nurses on her way out. It wasn't the escape that had jarred Stanley nor the deaths of the physicians. It was merely the fact that Blanche once again had the chance to ruin the "happy" marriage that had blossomed between him and Stella.
