His Family Says I Killed Their Son

The older woman's open hand strikes the narrator's face, her head turning with the blow.

The slap turned my head sideways.

I tasted blood, warm and thin, on my lip.

You killed him, you fucking liar!

Synopsis

I loved my husband more than my own life. Simon was kind to me when his family was not. Then he died, and his family said I killed him. They have the money, the lawyers, and the whole town on their side. They took my house and my name. They said I was a cold wife and a worse mother. I kept my mouth shut. They do not know what I am holding back. I have not told the truth yet. When I do, it will burn them all.
