Til Death

The 100 Word Stories Podcast

“I do,” said Bobby and Kathy.
“Til death do you part,” said the preacher.
It wasn’t a bad marriage. Wasn’t great, either.

“We’ll take him to the hospital, okay?” said the paramedics.
“Fine, whatever,” said Kathy.
She put her hands behind her back and took off her rings.
As the paramedics put Bobby on a stretcher and loaded him into the ambulance, Kathy asked what they were doing after their shift.
