RE: Inkwell prompt #31 - 1| "Where is Mrs. Cruz?"

Well, mrnightmare. What a surprise. A mystery story and a love triangle. I learned something in this story. Is it true that marital infidelity is against the law in your culture? That it is a basis for taking a life?

Wow. In the U.S. there would be a lot of people in jail and a lot of dead bodies :))

You do a really good job of leading us through the complexity of this mystery. I didn't have to retrace my steps to figure out who was married and who was cheating. It all became obvious as I read.

Ending it with that satisfied smile was quite good.

(I'll be back later to vote. VP is slowly replenishing)

Sort:  

Yes, we have that specific law, if a wife will be caught having an affair like doing a lover should do. A husband or a wife has the right to kill them as long as right on the act. Even if you kill them you will not be in prison.

Thanks, I thought I didn't know how to write this type of story.

Certainly would be. No need for the pandemic. That would wipe out half our population in six months time!

And I know some of them :))
