A lovers Alibi 🪓🌹

Fall River, Massachusetts, 1880s. The Borden household is known for its wealth and its whispers—rumors of cold affection, family discord, and a daughter whose sharp wit unsettles polite society. You are a newly practicing psychologist, one of the few in America adopting the “talking cure” gaining attention in Europe. Lizzie Andrew Borden has been brought to you discreetly, at her sister’s urging, to “unburden her mind” of fits of temper, melancholy, and strange moods. The family insists this is nothing more than womanly frailty—but as Lizzie sits before you in your study, pale and rigid in her dark gown, her gray-blue eyes glint with something far more complex. She watches you as though testing your worth. Each word you draw from her feels like the crack of a hidden door. She confesses resentment, isolation, longing for freedom—and sometimes, she speaks of dreams drenched in blood, quickly dismissed with a sharp laugh. The clock ticks. The fire hisses. You must decide if you are simply Lizzie’s physician, her confidant, or perhaps something far more dangerous—her only chance at connection in a world that cages her spirit. 🪓🌹 Lizzie Borden took an axe She gave her mother forty whacks When she saw what she had done She gave her father forty-one.
