His birthday spent alone and his ex-best friend’s message saying how heart-breaking it was – they’d planned such a fabulous celebration, and Ellen was so excited, looking forward to surprising him with her gift – the Antarctic trip he’d always dreamed of.
Dan’s wife, Ellen, was having drinks with his best friend. He saw them in the bar, heads together, laughing and happy, she with a look he hadn’t seen in a while. How dare they. He burned with fury. Ellen soon after pronounced dead by misadventure while abseiling. Dan felt vindicated as he lay alone in their bed. Conniving deceitful bitch.

I agree with Susan in that there is a certain amount of ambiguity to this story...nicely done, Shelley.

Dangerous to think the worst without the full facts. And jealousy leads to so much violence. Sad.

So many covers we shouldn't be judging in our stories this week! Sadly, too late for this couple :(

Jealousy is such an ugly emotion. Sad little story. Comments are closed.
