A Sudden Liberation

My husband just exploded into a pile of ash, and I'm not even mad.

He was screaming, raised his hand to hit me, and I just yelled, "Damn you to hell!"

Then, poof! He was gone. All that was left was a smoking pile

of dust and his glasses. I called my friend Florence, and at first,

she didn't believe me. But then she saw the evidence. We talked about

all the years of abuse, and honestly, this feeling is like a ton of bricks

being lifted off my shoulders. I'm not sure what to do next, but for now?

I just swept him under the rug.
