Undisturbed

The text came in on his phone while he was washing up.

His hands were wet; he ignored it. He did all the washing up now, since she left. Of course, this included the cooking, the cleaning, making the bed, paying the bills, watering the garden… It went on and on; an endless list of chores that he hadn’t needed to do when she was still living with him. Although their marriage had gone downhill for some time before she apparently packed her bags and left without a word, moving to another town, he couldn’t help feeling that there had been so many things that she had done that he’d taken completely for granted. It almost hurt him to think that life with her hadn’t been that bad.

It wasn’t until later that evening that he remembered his phone pinging earlier. Opening it, he found a strange text that talked about how he needed to make sure the dog was fed… The fact that he’d never owned a dog would indicate that it had come in on his phone by mistake. There was nothing to indicate who had sent it. The only aspect of it that he found disturbing was the fact that the message ended with her name. He wondered what the chances were of a misdirected text being sent by someone with his ex-wife’s name? Pretty slim, he thought.

He was about to turn in for the night, when he realised that the phone message was still troubling him. Reluctantly, he opened the back door and peered out. Shaking his head, he crossed the back lawn and entered the shed.

Switching the light on, he checked the cement floor.

It was undisturbed.
