Dark Starts - SN2022 - (non writer)

One blurred eye squinted at the red digits with contempt, ugh, 4am. Reece feels his wife stir next to him, then spoon into him, she knows the time too.

The day ahead terrified him, but he was soon distracted by his wife, slowly caressing his nipple.
”Sandra” he whined with false annoyance, “come on baby”, she said, “we have time”.

The phone intrudes with a trill,

Reece fumbles and answers, and sits bolt upright, suddenly alone in his bed.
“Sandra?” he croaked, “Reece where have you been been??? I’ve been worried sick!” Said his dead wife of 6 years.
