Exquisite Cadaver

She was walking through the woods when a majestic deer appeared. Elizabeth leaned towards it and in his eyes she saw the reflection of her love. Then, she ran desperately to her backyard where he was standing as if he was waiting for someone.

Enthusiastically, she shared this unique experience with the man who always had an advice for her. Thomas Raleigh, the best advisor of Elizabeth, did not have a word this time. His men had told him that Martin, Elizabeth’s French son in law, was planning to kill her. Although Thomas knew that Martin had plenty of reasons to get rid of the Queen, he had never imagined he would dare to do so.

Given this situation, Thomas decided to be extremely cautious in order to prevent any conflict between nations, so he asked his best men to follow Martin and inform him about every movement. The day before of the murder Thomas received a note which read: “Martin went shopping yesterday night”. He bought a pair of shoes and his uniform. He was starting classes at high school the following day . During that day,he was very anxious and nervous because he didn`t know any of his new classmates. He wanted to look not only smart but also nice. After such a tiring day for Martin, he went to bed. Unfortunately, the alarm clock didn`t ring. Despite this, he got up and went to school. After some minutes he was running late to take the school bus. Zack overslept because the night before he was watching the 30th academy awards that took place at the Sony theatre. On the screen Susan Sarandon was climbing up the stage to present the nominees for ‘Best Actress’ and after announcing Rihanna’s name as the winner a particular episode occurred. All the spectators watched how Helen Hunt’s anger could not be hidden. Sofia Coppola said to an E! Entertainment reporter: -‘Helen was furious and in the heat of the moment she balanced over Rihanna stealing the award’. Hunt tried to run away but she was cornered by the security guards. ‘I’m so sorry, I took a bad decision and this is not going to happen again’, she cried while getting close to the window. Finally and surprisingly, Helen Hunt jumped off the window with the Oscar on her hand. Despite of her success as an actress her real goal in life was to become a remarkable tennis player. In her youth she was on the way to be a professional one, but an injured in her knee left her out of the tournaments. After that she started to take painkillers in order to relieve her grief. This shocking episode happened when she played tennis ten years ago. One day she won a prize: a trip to a charming forest where she would find fantastic animals. As she did not believe what people said about that place, she decided to go there. When she arrived at the wonderland she started treking. Suddenly, she was walking through the woods when a majestic deer appeared.
