Friday Fictioneers: Surprised


I left my husband 15 years ago. I took only my personal belongings and moved 1000 miles away. Eventually he signed a no-fault divorce and that was that.

I wasn’t surprised when they called to tell me he was dead, or even that he had killed himself. I wasn’t even surprised to learn he had left everything to me.

He still owned the studio downtown and I visited there first. My stained glass art still hung in the window but the place was a mess. Somebody had been looking for something.

Had he really killed himself? I wasn’t so sure anymore.
