RE: The Winter Raven Made This Its Hold

in CCC • 16 days ago

It's so true one year can make a world of difference and more one "small" event can. It pains me a little that her father was more important to her than her husband was. All he has left are the memories of her dislikes, a cleaning lady at home, and the likes of the cats (the fish he still catches). I hope the bowls don't smell by now.
I wonder if the nearest future still accepts people who are lost. For sure the gossipers will know who to clean up.

A great story, sad but great.

    Thank you! I’m curious about your experience reading this. At what point in the story did you realize they were all dead?

      It was always thick with carp, and he'd find himself thinking of how much his cats loved these fresh-water fish.

      and the confirmation

      Cobwebs hung undisturbed in the corners, and the leaden floorboard dust was thick - - preserved with a frantic map of feline tracks, a life still in motion.

      His daily excursion was a distraction from the radio silence at home - a silence so heavy it felt like an assault on his ears.
