His Family Says I Killed Their Son

A broad-shouldered man in a dark jacket leans close to the narrator's ear, speaking quietly.

Then Paul was beside me. Close. His breath on my ear, warm, like nothing had happened.

Paul

Say one word tonight and you go in the lake with him.

Your boys can watch them drag you out by the hair.

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.
