to think the unthinkable

To Think the Unthinkable (Madelaine story)

The little girl, everyone loved, had turned bothersome
and tired, her mum and dad was going out dining with
friends, she cried refused to sleep; clung to her mother,
who, brushing her hair, irritated pushed her baby off.
The child fell backwards hit her head on a window
ledge and that was fatal. Dad wrapped his daughter’s
body in a large towel and drove to the a deserted beach,
and made a deep grave in the sand. Met their friends at
a restaurant, and during the evening the mum went to
check on her baby, came back, said child was missing.
The lie took on its own life; they just had to hold on it
too late to tell the truth now. Found out or not it doesn’t
really matter much as the secret of their deed will be
their cross to carry through a lifetime of regrets.
