David lifted the red case from the top of his late mother’s kitchen cupboard.
He doubted it contained anything important but given how often she’d told him never to poke his nose in there, he’d regret it, she’d have the last laugh, well… once she was gone, he’d known it was the first thing he’d investigate. She would’ve known that too, surely.
David smiled. Truth time.
Setting the case with care on the table, he slowly lifted the lid, spotted a loaded spring and…
Was hit in the face by a custard pie.
Somewhere, David swore he heard Mum laugh.
