Deadly obsession-4
Prissy-“I know you said you wanted to be alone and I accept that,but I just wanted to bring this to you.You can nibble as you see fit to keep your energy up. Bye.”Greg smiled and accepted the plate then closed the door. He set the plate down on the table.He looked at the cookies and peeled back the covering and tried one.After one bite,Greg tossed the cookie into the trash.
Greg-“Tastes like store bought.” A few days later Amanda’s body had been released by the police and the funeral parlor had picked up her body and the time seemed to both fly AND stand still for Greg as he stood by the grave site.
The pastor’s sermon was going in one ear and leaving out the other.Prissy had gone to the funeral to pay her respects,having seen the obit in the local paper.With the funeral over,Greg still felt numb as he returned home.He wasn’t home long before there was a knock on the door.He opened the door to see Prissy.Greg to go back to his living room leaving Prissy standing in the doorway.As Greg walked away,Prissy came in and shut the door.She joined Greg at the couch.
Prissy-“I know this is a REALLY hard time.But I really think I can help you through this.”
Greg(sitting on the couch with his head down)-“How?”
