Braided

Apassionatta

She sat out in the garden, holding her long braid defiantly. She had chopped it off.

The people in the tavern looked at the strange woman.

The fact that she was sitting there intrigued everyone. Everyone except the owner of the tavern. He knew. He had almost strangled her with that braid when...

He walked outside and everyone witnessed in horror how, in a split second, she wrapped the braid around his neck and knocked him to the floor, snapping his neck before anyone could do anything.

She braided the rope they placed around her neck a few days later.
