My Revenge After Death
"Ms. Blackwood died on May 20th at Central City Hospital. If you're her friend, the funeral service is being held at Eastside Memorial Cemetery. It started an hour ago."
With that, the man hung up.
Marcus stared at his phone, his hands beginning to shake. A strange panic crept up his chest, but he pushed it down.
This had to be fake. Another one of my elaborate schemes.
"Who was that?" Celeste asked from the bed.
"Nothing important," Marcus said quickly. "Just some prank call."
But deep inside, a tiny voice whispered that maybe, just maybe, this wasn't a game.
He knew me too well though. I loved him desperately. I would never actually leave him. I would never really choose to die.
