A Farewell Gift of Death
In the end, it was jealousy that destroyed her and the lives of everyone around her.
But it was far too late. She never got the chance to apologize to Mom and Dad before she passed away.
When Edwin heard she was gone, he didn't even lift his head. It was as if he had been told about the death of a stranger.
But Mom and Dad completely fell apart. Dad, who might have had six months to live, died immediately. Mom, unable to endure the pain any longer, threw herself off a building not long after.
The once-bustling house was reduced to silence, with only Edwin left behind.
