A RUN IN WITH A PSYCHOPATH by Mark Antony Raines
It is often said that you never truly know the person you're living with and what dark secret of a skeleton they may have in the closet.
I met my wife via a loving for love advert in the bikers magazine Back Street Heroes we talked for hours over the phone and then met up and clicked together also immediately then a few months got married.
It was a great marriage but every full moon I noticed my wife would book herself in a remote hotel in the mountains of Scotland and I would not see her for a couple of weeks.
I often asked why but she just said it was for the best as she did not me to see that side to her:this made me feel a little strange and I have to admit a bit jealous of not knowing what she was up to and perhaps I had a touch of the green eyed monster.
So when the next full moon was due let her see me wave goodbye and after a few minutes I got on my motorbike and followed her like some spy film to the hotel in the mountains of Scotland.
When I approached the hotel i realise it was an amazing asylum by the sign on the wall
"Meshugger Asylum for the maniac screwball s owned by Shizo Fruitcake "
So I went up to the reception and was greeted by a lady who would have given Frankinstern a run for his money.
"Excuse me i believe my wife Enid has booked a room with you for the week as a walk in patient "
"Sorry all clients information is classified I going to ask you to leave "
At this point a couple burly man looking like a cross between a wrestler and a strongman came out of a room, walked up beside me, lifted me up and placed me outside the door and both grunted caveman-like..
"Don't come back "
I leave with my tail between my legs then as the moon rises in hear a howl which I thought sounded like a wolf but surely the wolves in England were in zoo s not its countryside .
So I run around the back of the asylum and found that the back door was wide open and I sneaked in keeping my movements cat like and keep my ears tuned to the howling ignoring the sounds coming from the other rooms that had jail like bars.
Finally he was standing outside of the door which one it said
"Inside resides person suffering from chronic mental mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour "
The howling stops a wail of crying replaces it is tap on the door and cry out Enid s name.
Enid replys
"Mark darling what are you doing here I told you I never wanted to see or hear me like this "
I replied
"My darling Enid do you not wish me to honour our wedding vows to be together in sickness and health"
"Well if you insist but don't be afraid I won't bite "
With that in open the door and in front of me stood my wife completely covered head to toe in wolf's fur and half woman half wolf body along with a wagging tail.
I smiled and said dispite her outside appearance she was beautiful in the inside and next time she was to say at home with me..
As the fairytale s ending always say we lived happily ever after?
A Princess of Mars information about the book by Edgar Rice Burroughs
A Princess of Mars
A Princess of Mars is a science fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first of his Barsoom series. It was first serialized in the pulp magazine All-Story Magazine from February–July, 1912. Full of swordplay and daring feats, the novel is considered a classic example of 20th-century pulp fiction. It is also a seminal instance of the planetary romance, a subgenre of science fantasy that became highly popular in the decades following its publication. Its early chapters also contain elements of the Western. The story is set on Mars, imagined as a dying planet with a harsh desert environment. This vision of Mars was based on the work of the astronomer Percival Lowell, whose ideas were widely popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The Barsoom series inspired a number of well-known 20th-century science fiction writers, including Jack Vance, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Robert A. Heinlein, and John Norman. The series was also inspirational for many scientists in the fields of space exploration and the search for extraterrestrial life, including Carl Sagan, who read A Princess of Mars when he was a child.

Betty Boop: Minnie The Moocher
Betty Boop: Minnie The Moocher
1932
Minnie the Moocher (1932) is a Betty Boop cartoon produced by Fleischer Studios and released by Paramount Pictures.[1]
The cartoon opens with a live action sequence of Cab Calloway and his orchestra performing an instrumental rendition of "St. James Infirmary". Then Betty Boop gets into a fight with her strict, Yiddish speaking, Jewish parents, runs away from home with her boyfriend Bimbo, and sings excerpts of the Harry Von Tilzer song "They Always Pick on Me" (1911) and the song "Mean to Me" (1929).
Betty and Bimbo end up in a cave where a walrus, with Cab Calloway's voice, sings "Minnie the Moocher" and dances to the melancholy song. Calloway is joined in the performance by various ghosts, goblins, skeletons, and other frightening things. Betty and Bimbo are subjected to skeletons drinking at a bar; ghost prisoners sitting in electric chairs; a mother cat with empty eye-sockets feeding her equally empty-eyed kittens; and so on. Betty and Bimbo both change their minds about running away and rush back home with every ghost right behind them. Betty makes it safely back to her home and hides under the blankets of her bed. As she shakes in terror, the note she earlier wrote to her parents tears, leaving "Home Sweet Home" on it. The film ends with Calloway performing the instrumental "Vine Street Blues".
