Painted Bride
by Stephen Gallagher
"I know who you are," Louise told Molly Gideon. "No way did my dad send you to get us."
"You're right," Molly said. "It was my own idea. So why come with me."
"If we hadn't, the doctors would have kept on messing with Jack. Asking him questions. Trying to get him to talk about things he could never have seen. All because of that picture. The one he painted that caused all the fuss."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"The woman in the red dress. Jack called it the painted bride. The police had Jack in a room all yesterday and kept asking him about it. Now they're all trying to twist it by saying it means something."
"What are they trying to say?"
"That he must have seen her lying on the kitchen floor. That the red rainbow means he saw her blood coming out."
