"Give me a Big Smile"

He looked at her soullessly but, with
intensely evil intentions for her in his
eyes - although, very well disguised -

How had she come to this place and
found herself in this horrifyingly untimely
demise

She was always so exuberant and
full of big dreams, with only the
sky as her limit but, now,

All hope had at last been drained from
her soul, even as the blood in her gaunt
body was almost also gone from the
hundreds of cuts that he had inflicted
upon her now listless form

The overwhelming stench of death now
filled every square inch of this chamber
of horrors; and, she would lovingly take
ahold of the kindness of death and, in
any moment fall asleep in his arms
if he would forever make love to
her somewhere far away from
here

She looked through swollen eyelids as
he came around the corner and could
see that he had made a decision; her
time was here

Forcefully, applying the instrument into
place and setting the camera on its
tripod, he was careful to make sure
that his Muse was positioned just
right

"There now; you look great, just as I
  have spent time with you and for
   years meticulously prepped
    you just for this moment"

"You will look stunning for my
   portfolio; now my lovely
    model of completion, I
     thank you for your
            generous
          assistance...

" Look at the Camera and, give
   Me a Big Smile Please"


*I know that this merely sounds
  like a twisted horror story and,
  it is; but, it is by far more and
  deeper than just that.

  It is the horrifying realities of
  the mental/physical abuse of
  so many relationships and
  the infuriating closure for
  a lot of them.
