The Forgotten Son
Tanner proposed, “Don’t we own property, Mom? The title deed is right under your mattress. By selling the house, we should get at least a hundred grand.”
Jean tucked her property deed and savings book beneath the mattress, but she never once relayed the information to Tanner or me.

“How do you know?”
Two minutes later, Tanner blurted, “Graham told me, Mom. He took your savings book and tried to sell the house, but I stopped him in the nick of time.”
Outraged, Jean said brutally, “I can’t believe Graham. I was starting to feel guilty, but he’s just rotten at the end of the day. He’s doing the world a favor by dying.
