Hood

The story goes that he was woken in the early hours by angry voices

He couldn’t believe that it was happening. It seemed to be so out of place. It was definitely some kind of argument. It was a woman’s voice that dominated. She was telling someone that it was so unfair that her husband should be taken from her, at his age. She was saying something about their recent marriage and how this wasn’t the way it should go. He could just make out the time on the ward’s clock. Surely, three in the morning was not the time for a doctor’s visit, although that was what it sounded like. The doctor, if that’s who he was, spoke quietly about what needed to happen, but she wasn’t going to have a bar of it, and told him so. Then, quite suddenly, it fell silent. He lifted his head to see the man leave. In the poor light he could just make out a tall figure, dressed in black, with a hood!

The following day, the medical staff were amazed to find that the brain tumour was no longer there. He was discharged during the afternoon and a jubilant wife was called and told she could come to the hospital to take him home.

It was during that journey that a heavy vehicle shot through a red light and crushed the car they were in.

When the local paper carried the sad story of the recently married, young couple dying that way, his wife showed him the article. He hardly ever read the newspaper, but this was different. Knowing that her husband had been in the hospital at around the same time as the dead husband, she thought he should see it. She left him reading it.

A few minutes later, returning the paper to his wife, he agreed that it was a very sad business.

That was all he said.
