Abandoned . Content Warning.
The mist rose off the pavement and hovered before a speeding car sped through the ghostly illusion. It was as if time had forgotten the old town with its Spanish moss trees outlining the perimeter like sentries warning strangers to stay away.

The Edge of Silence
Alexi Petricov watched the Earth bleed light. From the cupola, the world was quiet. That was the first lie. A pale blue and green marble, innocent from up here. But he knew better. You didn’t get to survive Gulags of bureaucracy and Russian cosmodromes without learning how beauty could lie to your face.

The Madness
I nestled deeper into the bed, pleading for sleep to overcome me. It was the same thing every single night. Nothing ever changed. I wrapped my comforter tighter around me willing the plush softness to lull me into a false sense of security. But slumber, as always, eluded me.

How To Be A Good Wife?
“Look, I stopped telling you what to do because you hate it when I nag you, but this was something that you wanted!” Evric rolled his eyes and groaned, “I said I will do it and I’ll do it when I want to! Jeez!” “But it’s been two weeks since you said that. As your wife, I need to be supportive of your goals and make sure you achieve them”, reasoned Bianca. “There you go again, guilt tripping me!” Bianca gasped, “Guilt tripping you?! Do you even hear yourself?!” “Any good wife would just let me be! Let me do my own thing at my own pace! Why is it always a rush with you? Don’t you understand that I need to be ready and prepared to do it?” “Yes, I understand that”, explained Bianca, “But you’ve already bought everything that is necessary for you to do it. Seems prepared enough to me.” Evric looked at his wife in utter disbelief, “Mentally! I need to be prepared mentally to do it as well!” “I don’t understand. You had two weeks to do that.” “I was thinking of ways to do it effectively and I was out purchasing the things needed. You know I don’t multitask well.” “Yes, I’m sorry about that.” “Schizophrenia is so difficult to deal with. So, please cut me some slack”, pleaded Evric. Shocked would be an understatement to what Bianca felt. Evric knew what she was thinking, “I’m sorry Bia, I should have told you sooner. I was diagnosed a few months ago. That’s why I decided that it’s about time that I do it. I think it’s for the best.” “I think it’s a wonderful idea, but I wish you would have told me about this sooner. You know I’ll support whatever decision you take.” “You know what? I’ll do it tonight. I think I’m ready. No, I know I’m ready!” “I’m so happy for you! Please know that no matter what, I’ll always love you” “I love you too, Bia”, Evric smiled and kissed her. ~~~~~ “Helium asphyxiation?” “Yup, that seems to be the case, considering the helium tank and these equipments”, gestured at them Louis vaguely. “What’s taking the coroner so long?” asked Gary. “Beats me. Also, the wife definitely needs to be questioned. I was told she sounded very calm during the call.” “Poor woman must have been in shock. I mean, who wouldn’t be if their husband committed suicide? “I don’t know, Gary. It didn’t seem normal to me. She hasn’t shed a tear since we arrived and it didn’t seem like she had been crying either.” “What are you trying to imp—” Bianca interrupted their conversation, “I made some tea. Would you like some, Officers?” Louis gave Gary a see-what-I-mean look before he addressed Bianca, “Thank you, Mrs. Luft but we need to bring you in for questioning.” “Sure, I’m happy to be of help, Officer.”
