If it is heaven..I shouldn’t be here. They didn’t say it, but it hovered like a storm cloud over their head. Every blink felt like their eyes were made of sandpaper. What if this was a hell? A hell where they’d have to watch their husband leave them, over and over again? What cruelty could come to them in a field as beautiful as this one?
A creative sort, if the devils had any sense of humor.
