On this day, when the daffodils had begun to bloom, Jet saw that she had seven days to live.The deathwatch beetle had begun to call from within the walls of the Owens Library, a sound that often went unnoticed until it was so loud it was all a person could hear. Jet had no aches or pains and had never been ill a day in her life, but fate is fate and it can often be what you least expect it to be. Each day she washed with the black soap the family prepared in March during the dark phase of the moon, with every bar then wrapped in crinkly cellophane. Even in her eighties, Jet was still beautiful. It was there that Jet Owens saw her fate in a mirror behind the reference desk.

Gta vc forest of gamesA moth tap- ping at the glass. The sun streaming through the library windows in fierce bands of orange light. Now everything she saw was illuminated. It had taken this long for Jet to appreciate that every instant was a marvel. This was the moment that revealed how you had walked through the world, with kindness or with fear, with your heart open or closed. Its presence meant that the past was over and the future no longer existed. If Maria Owens had been less rash, she might have realized that when you curse another, you curse yourself as well. Beware of love that was dishonest and disloyal, love that would lie to you and trick you, love that could break you and condemn you to sorrow, love that could never be trusted. Just before the rope that was meant to end her life snapped, and she was miraculously saved, Maria called out a curse upon love.Beware of love, she had written on the first page of her journal, now exhibited in the library, a display mothers in town often brought their teenaged daughters to view before they started dating. She blamed love for her undoing, for she’d chosen the wrong man, with dire consequences. The court set out to destroy Maria and nearly did, but she could not be drowned, and she did not back down. All the same, a person could trick fate if she dared, she could change her name, never admit her love, skip a legal union, vanish from view, or, for those who were careless and wild, simply plunge in and hope for the best, knowing that sooner or later everyone had to face her own destiny. Over the years, many of those in the Owens family had found ways to outwit the curse, al- ways an intricate and risky endeavor. Those who failed to abide by this rule would find that engagements would be tragic, and marriages would end with funerals. For their own safety, they must avoid love. Maria invoked an enchantment to protect the generations to follow, with her daughters’ and great-granddaughters’ best interests at heart.
