A lady newly in love but to someone else then the man who wants it most.
          In the old roads of Italy, in a small town lived a woman.  Every day she

went to buy a little bit more food for their next meal.  Every day she returned back

to the house.  A distinct route was taken at a precise time every day. But one thing

that she did not know was that every day a man looked out of his window and

watched her leave and return with intensive care.  The man wasn’t in love with the

woman, but had a terrible obsession.  Every day when she found something new in

the house that had disappeared, he was the one to blame.  Then each day after

she had returned to the house she would make dinner for two.  Her husband would

arrive home at an exact time as well. For this couple everything was timing,

shopping, church, eating and bedtime.  They were not rich, but they were in love

and that alone was all that was important to them.  This was their first wedding

anniversary and as such she had to buy a bit more food then usual, although a bit

off the everyday schedule, there was yet another schedule for special occasions. 

After the lady was returning home from shopping, the obsessed man could not just

to look; he needed more, and decided that this woman had to belong to him.  He

left the sanctuary of his own home to go up to the lady and ask to help her with her

bags, of course the woman agrees being polite. But this man didn’t take the bags;

he lifted up the lady and carried her inside.  The woman screamed and screamed

but nobody could hear, she flailed about punching lip and causing it to bleed. 

While bringing her inside he caused the umbrella stand to knock over. The woman’s

husband came home he found food bags all around, but no wife. He immediately

phoned the police, she was off schedule and that should have never happened.

When the man with the obsession found out about this he knew they would check

his house very soon.  The man was frightened that someone would take the woman

from him, so in order to keep this woman all to himself he quickly went to the

library to take out a magic book.  The librarian looking at this absurd man, shaky,

eager yet scared at the same time. He read through it looking for a soul-binding

spell.  It said to kill the woman then it to confine the spirit of the woman to the hair

so that she will belong has the man always.  He quickly did this and then buried

the woman seep beneath the soil.  The police then came soon after to question

him.  The man has quickly to hide the hair in a dresser, but not before sprinkling it

with sparkles and glitter, trying to give this woman some jewels.  The police could

not find the woman but they once they found the magic book they took the man to

prison anyways were he was eventually killed.  The dresser was then sold person

to person, the woman possessing the lady of the house, always looking for her love

that was already dead. The hair became indestructible and so hidden that not even

a laser could find it and destroy it. She will hunt eternity for this man who was so

cruelly taken from her.
