It was the morning of Halloween when Rhonda opened up her kitchen door, walked in and started cleaning. The boys had made a proper mess of things. Dishes were piled up, the margarine had been left on the counter and the bananas were so dotted with black and brown spots that they could barely be considered edible. And what was that horrible smell?810Please respect copyright.PENANAwRy3gJ5SlN

Rhonda sighed as she changed the garbage sack. There was a wicked crick in her neck and her back hurt. Such is the price of getting old she thought to herself. She took the trash out and threw it in the rubbish bin. 810Please respect copyright.PENANATPwlVO1C6v

810Please respect copyright.PENANAvHYcGVmkxG
Mrs. Wiggins, from across the street, was doing the exact same thing. She had a gaggle of boys, too. Mrs. Wiggins was dressed in a baby blue bathrobe and slippers. She hadn't quite gotten her day going from the looks of it. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAQKhXmGCQ12

“Hello, Regina,” Rhonda said. “How’s Henry and Matthew?” Henry and Matthew were her two boys. They went to the same school as her Johnny, Mikey and Billy. They played football together and got on very well. So well that their families had spent many a summer day together having barbecues and swim sessions in the Wiggins’ pool. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAo0rXQVzzh2

Much to her dismay, Mrs. Wiggins didn't return her cordial greeting. Mrs. Wiggins dropped the trash bag she was holding and it split open and spilled rubbish onto the sidewalk. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAtDw05H2TXf

Regina Wiggins whimpered and ran back into her house with a look of terror on her face. “How very rude,” Rhonda said, but then she thought better of it. “Don't be judgmental,” she muttered to herself.810Please respect copyright.PENANAY4ghc4jZxp
810Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7vhW1ABCa
810Please respect copyright.PENANACgazjJozsJ
She remembered that Regina suffered from IBS. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. When she felt the need to run to the bathroom she had to go right away or an unfortunate accident was sure to follow. The IBS had taken it’s toll on her poor neighbor. Aged her prematurely. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAPPEjaTWtml

Being the good neighbor that she was, Rhonda cleaned up the trash that Regina had spilled onto the sidewalk. She decided that she would bring Regina a nice cup of tea later and find out if she was all right. But not until she finished cleaning that dreadful kitchen.810Please respect copyright.PENANAm8PTt5k14U
810Please respect copyright.PENANAGEBEkCd7g0
810Please respect copyright.PENANAIMrE5GFv4g
She filled the sink with suds and water and began cleaning the dishes. Most of he kitchen had been put back in order, but there was still a dreadful smell coming from something. One of the boys had probably dropped a piece of fruit behind the trash can. It wasn't unusual. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAtrRwwIwOBr
810Please respect copyright.PENANAmCc35btGlZ
810Please respect copyright.PENANAxADoVLfFvm
The clinking and clanking from her cleaning of the dishes awoke her husband Eddie. Eddie walked into the kitchen and he paused at the door. He looked at Rhonda for what seemed an eternity, but was actually no more than a few seconds. 810Please respect copyright.PENANANhbWRqWfOm
810Please respect copyright.PENANAy8NQmwAt6m
810Please respect copyright.PENANAyRmc8YIGDe
The look on his face was one of bewilderment and worry. “Well hello to you, too, dear,” Rhonda said. “Are you hungry?” she asked. “Have a seat and I'll make you a bite.”810Please respect copyright.PENANAlYzvltmcVN
810Please respect copyright.PENANAFFPHGi6bOb
810Please respect copyright.PENANAjscRCALxHX
Eddie stood there in his boxers and white tee shirt intently watching his wife of twenty seven years. His eyes were wide and his wispy, white hair was out of place. He took a step backwards. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAaUTJxyN5zw
810Please respect copyright.PENANABeVbgpxw7t
810Please respect copyright.PENANAcrzxn5prJu
“Sit down if you want some breakfast, Eddie,” Rhonda said again. Eddie took a step forward and paused. He took another sheepish step. “Sit down, you unusual man,” she instructed him again. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAhiEcC5CCRt
810Please respect copyright.PENANA9tT8vd3kSl
810Please respect copyright.PENANA7s7m8kAkif
Eddie pulled a chair out and sat at the table. Eddie’s eyes never left Rhonda as she stepped over to him, bent down and kissed him on the forehead. Eddie’s brow wrinkled in horror and confusion.810Please respect copyright.PENANA2TFi6WpisM

Rhonda grabbed a skillet that she had just washed and sat it on the stove. She walked to the refrigerator and shook her head when she opened it. “My word,” she said. “I really need to go grocery shopping. It's as bare as bones in the ice box.”810Please respect copyright.PENANAJjwm21tzON

810Please respect copyright.PENANAnGBmEa3Rke
She pulled out an egg carton and opened it. There were only two of them in it. Clicking her tongue, she took the two eggs and sat them next to the skillet. She ignited the burner and put a wee bit of olive oil into the skillet. Before long the two eggs were sizzling.810Please respect copyright.PENANAg2S9YF8EEt

810Please respect copyright.PENANAa09rtH6WrA
“I would make you some toast, but it seems we are out of bread,” she said. Eddie watched her in silence. When the eggs were finished she dished them onto a plate and sat them in front of her husband. He just stared down at plate of eggs. Every now and then he would look up at his wife, who was now sitting across from him.810Please respect copyright.PENANAonPxXcyI3R

810Please respect copyright.PENANAz32Nh3VhWp
Eddie shook his head. “Thank you, dear,” he replied. “And good… good morning.” He picked up his fork and began to put small bites into his mouth. He chewed, but all the while he never took his eyes off of Rhonda. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAFaUIgCy2m1

She searched the kitchen for a few minutes. Her husband stared at her the whole time. His look of worry turned to one of wonder. Then his wonder turned to seriousness. His eyes hung on the floor while she searched for what was rotten. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAujYR8NjvCb

Rhonda grabbed the small pad that sat on top of the refrigerator and grabbed a pen. She started making a shopping list. “Is there anything you need from the market? Razors? A new toothbrush?” she asked. 810Please respect copyright.PENANADskS7SBvo1

This time she slammed the yellow pad she was writing on down on the counter. “Enough with this nonsense, Eddie!” she declared. “I have enough to do without you adding to the list with your foolish pranks! I need to go to the market and get groceries and Halloween candy for the kids in the neighborhood. Now are you going to make yourself useful and help me or are you going to sit there and continue to be a horse’s ass?”810Please respect copyright.PENANAAj5gU9dpiu

Finally finding the courage, he stood up and walked over to his wife. He gently put his hand on her shoulders and turned her around to face him. “Babe,” he said quietly, “you've been dead for twelve years.”810Please respect copyright.PENANA2L8cNeWdsx

She put her pad down and sat the pen on top of it. What was he saying to her? Then suddenly it came back to her. Just like Eddie had said, she had been driving to the market after dropping off the boys and a van came out of nowhere and hit her station wagon. Then there was nothing but blackness. Until earlier when she walked into the kitchen. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ1blXFck6

Pulling out a chair for his wife, Eddie sat her down and then sat on the edge of the table. She looked confused. Almost as confused as Eddie did. “Okay,” she said in barely a whisper. “Okay. Will you help me find what that horrible smell is, Eddie? And then I'll go back to where I came from.”810Please respect copyright.PENANAqqaNhTDmVE

“He’s right, mom,” came a voice from the entrance to the kitchen. It was Mikey. There he stood, grown and handsome. Beside him stood Billy. He was much older than he was the last time she saw him.810Please respect copyright.PENANAMHPUxuMcSg

Billy opened the back door and motioned for her to follow him. Holding Mikey’s hand all the while, she did. The four of them walked out into the back yard. Under a tall tree there was a hole dug in the ground. There was a wooden cross at the head of the hole. “That's where you came from, ma,” Mikey said to her. 810Please respect copyright.PENANA6qwWUHgpqS

Mikey turned his father a half turn and nodded towards the east end of their back yard. A hole, not unlike the one Rhonda has come from sat there waiting. “It happens every year, pa,” Mikey replied. “We don't know why, but it does.”810Please respect copyright.PENANA01kL7P2CY4

The boys took their shovels and dug the grave while their father watched. When it was finished Eddie walked over to it and said, “I guess I'll see you next year,” he and the boys both laughed uncomfortably and Eddie jumped into the hole they had dug. As soon as his feet touched the dirt of the grave his body fell limp and lifeless once again. For another year at least. 810Please respect copyright.PENANAj0xcBh6cK4
