Proof by Death
428 Views · Ongoing · leon
Six years of hauling corpses. Six years of scraping maggots out of floorboards and suffocating in a toxic slurry of putrefying flesh and industrial solvents—all just to buy my husband a little more borrowed time.
I thought the thing I pulled back from the brink of death was a human being.
But the day my joint accounts were frozen... the moment my own son clamped a hand over his nose in disgust at my stench... the second I watched his mistress weeping softly into his chest... I finally realized the truth.
I hadn't saved a man. I had resurrected a pack of monsters, and they weren't going to stop until they ground me into the dirt.
