15/365/Serial


Sarah’s brother, Steve, had come home after school one afternoon and told her Hugh was dead. “Stop being so mean to me,” she said. “That’s not true! Why would you say something like that to me?”

But it was true.

At the funeral, she was inconsolable. Hugh’s widow eventually suggested that she pull herself together. “But I’m so sad,” cried Sarah. “How do you think I feel?” asked the widow.

  1. Hugh's widow, grief-stricken or not, should have been a little more caring. Maybe she knew?

  5. She said that to a nine year old! Ha! Are you sure this isn't about my family?
