"Do you not care anymore?" Again came the question, the voice raspy, sounding dry, but still recognisable.
"Alfie... No I can't be..."
"You don't care for me!" The house rumbled as the being's voice rose.

The clock on the wall ticked on the same second, it couldn't go forwards or back. Stuck in time.

A strange black substance leaked through the ceiling, thick and slow as it started to trail down the walls. "Wha- what's happening?!" Eden's eyes looked frantically around the room at the thick substance still came.

The temperature changed. Once cold and bone chilling turned now to be boiling. She pulled her hands off the wooden table as the furniture was hot to the touch and burnt the skin on her hands.

What was going on?

"I know what you did, I've always known you wouldn't be there for me."
"I don't know what you're talking about! Please stop!"
"You, you think I wouldn't know?! Thought I would just tag along and never find out?! You did this, you killed me!"
"Alfie please! I haven't done anything, I wouldn't do anything to you! Please stop!"
"What about Simon? Keeping him a secret?" The voice continued to boom through the house, the room became hotter and the substance became thicker. "I know what to did... You cheater!"

A broken heart. It can kill people. Small tendons in the vital muscle can break due to traumatic events. He became ill and died from a broken heart.

"I did everything you wanted Eden! And you payed me back by doing that!" The voice showed emotions, it was hurt and anger.

"I loved you Eden."
