THE BARREN EX-WIFE WHO CAME BACK
Hands grabbed at me, trying to pull me away from the shovel, but I shook them off.
Another shovelful of dirt.
Patricia was sobbing now, curled up at the bottom of the grave, her hands over her head as the sand continued to fall on her.
"Please!" she wailed. "Please stop!"
Finally, security managed to wrestle the shovel from my hands, and I let them take it, stepping back from the grave's edge.
The crowd immediately surged forward, several men jumping down into the grave to help Patricia out.
I stood there, breathing hard.
