Moonlight Dwelling

Everything was going according to plan. The guests had all arrived including the most important one of all. At first it looked like she wouldn't get out of the cab and board the ship but he knew she would. He was going to make that wish whispered when they were children come true. It was going to be just the two of them. He smiled at the thought that everyone had no idea what he had planned for them.

Poor Trish had no clue about what was about to happen to Cousin Ben who would be the first but not the last death. He had a special spot on the boat tied below with a tank of oxygen after all it'd be no fun if he drowned before the boat started which led to being decapitated by the whirling propellers.

It was so tempting to take a peek back when the engine started so he could watch the water turn red with blood but he had his part to play. He was the happy fiancee so he kissed Trish. Soon he would have Abby all to himself. Of course dear old Dad had no idea what the real plan was but he would soon enough.
