This is the sixth of seven stories in the collection Ripples.
In the aftermath of a serious car accident, Marcie Anderson ruminates on the absence of her husband after their recent divorce, seemingly unaware of a much more immediate and medically urgent loss.
Over the years, she had become accustomed to the emptiness of the house, the silence that collected like dust in the corners, long before he actually left. It wasn’t his absence that grieved her—how can you feel something that isn’t there?—it was the unanswered questions he left behind.
