Love Is Dead!

By Seanie Sugrue

A paralytic presentation of murder, deceit and sexism. This series of stories, akin with a thin thread of correlation, attempt to prove whether its title holds true, that Love Is Dead Act 1: The Apple and the Tree drags through the meager life of Trevor. A young man burdened with the seemingly impossible task of convincing his relations that he has been raped, by two women. Despite his best efforts, he is disregarded as a cheater, liar and thief. Frustrated and suffocated, digging deeper, deeper, and farther still, he retreats to his den of iniquity, which is the worst decision he will ever make. The culmination of all his shame is paralleled with his father Walter, following closely in his deadly footsteps. Act 2: Two Minute Kenneth follows a seemingly incompatible couple through the rapid escalation of the imminent melancholy that is, a modern day relationship. Resorting to violence to solve their conflict, Eugene becomes torn between a confession or satisfying his own selfish desires. Sexism and jealousy fan the embers of this twisted tale of delusion, rage and murder. A tragedy that goes to show, you'll only reap just what you sow. Act 3: My Goldfish Loves Me but I Hate Your Guts ambles recklessly through a sinuous account of the life and misery of Maggie, an unhinged prostitute looking for retribution. Seemingly held together by the quizzical relationship with her beloved goldfish, Maggie indiscriminately stacks up her callers with no short of bloodshed. Chauvinism and tact drive her to resort to take matters into her own hands. Establishing a narrative that proves, a woman without a man is only as good as a fish without a gun.
