Till Death

A short story perfect for a coffee break or a quick getaway to the dark side…

Every year, rain or shine, Tom and Alice hike to the top of Lover's Leap to commemorate their wedding anniversary. Fifty years ago, Tom proposed at the lookout when they were too young to understand what it meant to promise till death do us part. Some years, they hold hands as they hike. Some years, they bicker. Some years, they love each other. Some, they don't.

But they keep returning to Lover's Leap. Year after year. In good times and bad. In sickness and health.

They keep going up, and they keep coming down. Together. 

Because after fifty years, there are only two ways to end a marriage.
