  3. Early this week:

    A BRUSH WITH DEATH

    I didn’t mean to kill him. I can’t believe how much blood there is under the rug.

    I had to wrap him up in a large sheet of polythene I happened to have in the garage, as well as the rug, to make sure I didn’t leave traces in the boot of the car. The body’s well and truly disposed of now. Nobody will find it in the forest. I had enough difficulty carrying it through the shrubs and trees to the burial spot.

    Now I’m back home, trying to get rid of the evidence. I’ve used bleach and now I’m scrubbing the tiles with Gumption. I don’t suppose it would stand up to a Luminol search but I’m not expecting there to be one.

    The disappearance will be all over social media, of course. My wife will make sure of that once I’ve told her that he’s run away. She’ll be distraught but I just couldn’t put up with the constant noise and aggression any more. I just lost it. Hit him with the spade I was using in the veggie patch.

    Oh god, here’s her car. Here goes for the bewildered husband act. One minute he was there; the next he wasn’t. Well, that’s true enough. Death’s like that.

    Put on the sad, panicked face.

    “Oh, darling, so glad you’re home. The dog’s gone missing.”

  4. I think the fact that he’s cleaned the floor is pretty much an admission of guilt, unless he’s a new breed of super-husband!

    Fun piece, Angela.
