A man
and his
veiled wife
are playing chess in the park.
—
Behind them, a younger couple
‘s relationship is dying.
Two Weeks.
Maximum.
He caresses her and she responds; her movements
equal and reciprocal to his.
But useless.
—
The veiled woman
is ready
to checkmate,
but she doesn’t see it.
she doesn’t see
the strength
of her position. She
is unaware
of the many weaknesses in his defense.
—
Her
husband pays close attention to her
eyes;
he cannot save himself
if she
decides
to kill.
