Snakes in the Rose Garden

The Twelfth Hour

It was on an autumn day many years ago, that a beautiful witch burned down an entire city, destroying her husband, the women who laid with him, and herself in a blazing hell. It was on that day that the Edward children, Mark and Elly, and their entire blood line was cursed by destiny. Though no blood kin is shared between them, Mark and Elly have been raised as siblings, and their religious mother, father, and neighbors believe the deep seeded fondness the children share for each other is evil and proof of an ill fated legend within the town. To please everyone in his life and satisfy his own “sinful” needs, Mark sneaks into Elly’s room at night, and when their mother finds them one night, secrets come out and the cruelty of destiny is released in tragic tale of Snakes in the Rose Garden.
