✦Spoiler Alert✦

A story about a man who has trouble settling down with someone. After he promised to marry two different women, the mother of one of them cursed him never to be happy with the other one. Everything she said came true.

About the project: This is the seventh cover of my illustrated series of 50 classic short stories with a modern twist. I’m reading 50 Great Short Stories published by Bantam Books and making my version of the covers for each story as a personal project with the goal of expanding my portfolio and book cover design skills.
