Reversed

It was late at night in the park, a soft summer breeze on the lover’s skin, and the moon smiling in the sky. He was holding her hand as they strolled through the green labirynth. In the balmy silence, only the leaves whispered, and the couple didn’t understand their voice of caution.

For in the next few minutes, the world changed. Five henchmen jumped out of the greenery, clad in black, uniformly bald. Like a tiger lunging toward its prey, they attacked the young couple. The girl screamed as she realized what was happening. Strong men seized both of them and punched them in the face, kicked them in the groins, then disappeared into the night again. The whole incident lasted a mere ten minutes.

In ten minutes, two broken bodies and two fear-stricken souls were left under the moon. The boy passed out as his girlfriend called the police. But no one answered.

“Their relationship is unnatural, why did they had to flaunt it? They got what they deserved.”, said a politician the next day on TV.
