In Sickness And Health
a microfiction
I stood in front of his safe.
Tyler always bought in bulk: a crate of a hundred beers, a hundred condoms, probably would have bought a hundred tires for his hundred thousand dollar truck he bought when we barely had a hundred dollars in Cam’s college fund.
He said it made him feel manly.
I wonder, did she? Was there one? One hundred?
The safe’s cogs slid into place. The idiot never even changed the fucking combo.
The thing was heavier than I expected, but aren’t a lot of things? It’s a lesson I’m very tired of learning.
After all, he would never learn it.
Yeah, Tyler always bought in bulk.
But the funny thing about affairs is they’re like bullets…
…it only takes one.
