Day Is Night

Day Is Night: a crime story (6,910 words)

Curtis feels trapped in a dull and, for quite a while now, loveless marriage. When he runs into his lovely neighbor, Margot, he starts dreaming of a new life not controlled by his overbearing wife. But is it even possible, feasible? Can there be a way out? 
Everything is not what it looks like, though, and his curiosity about Margot will get him into more trouble than he bargained for, and into a new sort of entrapment, with retribution and murder in its midst.
