届かない婚姻届

届かない婚姻届

向井圭介(むかい けいすけ)はある組織で副部長を務めている。彼の家には、「別れるなら死別のみ、婚約破棄はなし」という不文律がある。 私の兄が戦死する前に残した願い──それは圭介に私を娶らせてほしい、というものだった。 だからたとえ幼なじみの吉田小春(よしだ こはる)に心を寄せていても、圭介は組織に私との婚姻届を提出した。 小春が、兄が遺してくれた唯一の形見である腕時計を壊してしまうまで。 圭介はまたしても小春をかばい、私は今回、喧嘩もせず、ただ遠く海外にいる先生に連絡を取って、海外特派員になる準備を始めた。 旅立つ前に、私は自分に10日間の整理期間を与えた。 初日、私は提出されるはずだった婚姻届をこっそり隠した。 三日目、組織に退職願を提出した。 旅立つ日、圭介はようやくあの腕時計のことを思い出し、「次の休みに新しいのを買いに行こう」と自ら言ってくれた。 その直後、彼は続けた。「小春が今夜、友達を連けて家で食事するから、ちゃんと料理用意しといてね」 私は笑って応えておいた──そして二度と彼の世界に現れることはなかった。 その後、メディアで私の情報を見るたび、圭介は引き出しにしまった婚姻届を眺めてはぼんやりと佇むのだった。 そこにしまわれているのは、あの未熟な秋の日々、二度と戻らぬ恋人、そして彼が渡せなかった腕時計……

How to Bury a Family

How to Bury a Family

Before our wedding, my fiancée, Sarah Hargrave—a professor of medieval history—held a private ceremony in a secluded chapel in the countryside. But not with me. Under the glow of candlelight, she cradled Benjamin Wheeler—her first love, his face gaunt from the cancer consuming him—in her arms. Her smile was soft, almost reverent, as she murmured, "In the eyes of God, vows made before the altar are the only ones that matter. Even if the law says I belong to Daniel, my soul was never his." And so, to the faint echo of hymns and the scent of old incense, they drank from the same silver cup, exchanged rings, and stepped together into the dimly lit sacristy—their makeshift bridal chamber. I watched. Silent. Motionless. No outbursts, no demands for explanation. Just the quiet dialing of a clinic to undo the vasectomy I'd gotten for our future. From fifteen to thirty, I had loved Sarah for fifteen long years. But in all that time, there'd never been room for me. That space had always belonged to Benjamin, my stepbrother. So I let her go. Afterward, I joined a geological research team bound for the isolation of Antarctica—a land cut off from the world, quiet and clean. Before I left, I handed Sarah a divorce agreement…and a final gift to mark the end. I never anticipated that Sarah, who'd always met my devotion with frosty detachment, who'd never once glanced back as I walked away, would look ten years older overnight.

The Only Victim

The Only Victim

When my body is engulfed in flames, my firefighter father is watching a new movie with my sister. My mother is baking them a cake. I hear laughter in the living room, and I can smell the caramel popcorn in the kitchen. Today is my family's weekly family day—it's a day for my sister and parents to be with each other. The doorbell rings, and the perpetrator gives me a chance to ask for help. My limbs are bound, and stones fill my mouth. I stand at the door and desperately wait for my parents to open it. They don't get up. Instead, they sit on either side of my sister and hug her. "We promised you we'll only be with you on our family days. No one can disturb us." "What if it's Danica?" Ravenna Sutton, my sister, asks. "Her? She hasn't answered her phone in days—who knows where she's off being wild? I'll think of her as dead if she still doesn't return tomorrow!" Ravenna giggles. Mom feeds her some popcorn, and Dad discusses the movie's plot with her. The perpetrator drags me back upstairs and laughs mockingly in my ear. "Looks like I did something unnecessary. They genuinely don't care about you." Smoke permeates every corner upstairs, and the flames start to lick at my body. Mom and Dad protect Ravenna as they run downstairs. They have no idea their birth daughter is screaming in pain amid the blazing fire.

Vows at Sunset

Vows at Sunset

Three days before my wedding, I found out that Shane Dawson had changed the venue from Grandma Mae’s home in the South to Castillo de Sol, the Spanish castle that Tania Collins, his childhood sweetheart, adored. I confronted him, only to overhear him complaining to his friend, "Thank God Tania has taste. Otherwise, I’d be laughed at for life." His friend reminded him, "Didn’t you promise her you’d hold the ceremony at her grandmother’s house? Aren’t you afraid she’ll get angry and refuse to marry you?" Shane just laughed, sharp and dismissive. "The Quinns are on the verge of bankruptcy. Marrying me is her only way out. She can’t afford to gamble. I’ve already asked the planner to call her. She’s probably scrambling to change her flight right now." Anger and humiliation burned in my chest. I bit down on my lip and, in the end, turned away. Three days later, the castle wedding went on as scheduled, but I didn’t reschedule my flight. I didn’t show up. Instead, I stood in Grandma Mae’s old courtyard and exchanged rings with another man. To this day, Shane doesn’t understand. I never married him for some so-called escape route. I married him for a love that lasted ten years. However, once the dream was over, it was time for me to choose a different path.
