Ooops!
"It's a fake graveyard, for heaven's
sake," I yelled at the officer at my door.
"Then, please explain why we found your husband
buried underneath the fake zombie?" He answered with a question I had no
answer for.
I backed up into my living room and fell into the
easy chair. The officer followed.
Startled, confused, and unbelieving, I finally
understood. "This…this is a joke. You and Cooper cooked this up as a
Halloween prank. Didn't you," I said in relief. "Funny. Too, too
funny."
"No, ma'am, this is no hoax. Your husband is
being tended to by forensics now. He's definitely dead. The coroner confirmed
that just minutes ago."
"But how do you know it's Cooper?"
"Fingerprints. Plus, he called 911 last
night. Said we'd find him there this morning, and that you were
responsible."
"No," I said with a smile. "Cooper
couldn't have. I killed him two days…."
