It Happen One Night
By Bria Fairchild
A murder, A murder, A murder they cried
their screams filling the night sky
"Oh, how could something happen so evil and vile"
At that moment a hush fell over our crowd
For they heard a scream so terrible and loud
A young woman came running from the chambers with tears
spilling down her face
"Isn't that Betty?" someone asked
“I believe it is just earlier today she was throwing the confetti
now look at her all disheveled and sweaty"
"Please everyone we must leave this awful place
at once
The duke has been killed” she screamed falling to the ground
Rumors soon started swirling around
"You think it was a blade"
"Hmm maybe but I would have used nightshade"
The crowd watched in dismay as the duke’s body was carried away
Whispers of betrayal being cast about
And yet no one noticed that Betty had quietly slipped out

Author's Notes: To keep you on your feet, and cos I'm not feeling well (yep, I'm repeating that lol!) I am doing some preamble rather than postamble. I do not apologise for the clickbaity type title and subtitle. This is another Abecedarian that's been lying around digitally in my WIP/down the back of the digital sofa for way too long. So out into the world it goes.
