Sealyon: Inheritance

The package arrives less than a month after her death. I’d been half expecting it, but no one was sure if the family legend was true. I guess I’d be the one to find out.

It looks harmless, wrapped in brown paper, tied with brown twine. I almost don’t want to open it. If I open it, then it’s final. She’s really dead, and if the legend is true, then my life will never be the same.

I open the box and stare at the list inside.

It’s all true.

Damn: the next-door neighbor is my first victim.

Thanks, Mom.
