I was very happy, it was coming the day of my marriage with Clarice, the woman of my life! I loved her very much. Everything was ready for our wedding, I was sure that everything would be alright, but it was not what really happened. One day , we were walking through the woods days before our wedding, but some people said it brought no luck to walk through the forest.

People said that there were many monsters in the forest, but I and clarice did not believe these stories, but we were curious about them. The next day we returned to that forest and watched what was going on, we wanted to know what were the people talking about anyway...

Since nothing happened, my beautiful Clarice sang to me, as Clarice was beautiful... My girl sang to me all afternoon, the next day was our big day: the wedding! I turned to the side and I heard a strange noise, Clarice also heard, we both looked where the noise was coming from and suddenly...

We saw an extremely ugly and disgusting animal, a purple snake, but it was not a normal animal, she spoke and said: - You’re bothering

me and therefore I will not let the wedding happen tomorrow! I replied:

- How do you know, there will be our wedding? And it said:

- I know everything . I did not believe and left with clarice.

Our big day arrived, everything was ready and pretty. When the ceremony ended and we were kissing, the snake came and killed my girl clarice. That hurt me too much and then, the snake looked at me and said: - I said the marriage would not happen, that’s for you to learn to take monsters seriously!

I fell on my knees and this still hurts a lot.
