Brother and Sister

It all began innocently enough -- two people, brother and sister, drawn together by the tragic death of their parents. It was Paul and Angie against the cruel, unfeeling world -- against the army which he blamed for his marriage to a prostitute.

Somehow, when he kissed Angie -- just for comfort -- he was erasing the image of faithless Ingrid, of the uncertainty of the future.

It was that kiss -- innocent but exciting -- which touched off the wellsprings of passion within them until they were like people possessed -- heedless of taboos or consequences...

The horrible guilt came later, after the damage was done, after it was too late to turn back.
