Tanya: So Quiet

It’s going to be so quiet around here without John.

She leaned against the doorframe as her vision blurred with tears.

No one to take care of me. No one to kill the bugs and open the wine and rake the leaves. No one to open the salsa jar, or the pickles. No one here when I get home from work. No more hands to hold mine, and brush my hair. No one to watch over me. So quiet.

She straightened up and calmed herself. Then she re-hung the shower curtain and began scrubbing the blood out of the bathtub.
