An Open Letter

Weekend Writing Prompt - #452

An open letter on his desk caught Stanley's eye. It was from his wife. Her impatient signature was obvious, even without his glasses.

"Oh Shit, what have I done now?"

He hated her notes; never saying anything nice; always a handwritten reprimand or snarky criticism.

He bent down and read the single line there.

"Stanley, dinner's in the oven. ...... I'm leaving you."

 At first, shock. Then awareness crept in.

Stanley smiled.

The first tune I could think of that might fit nicely with this piece of flash was a a blues tune by David Bromberg recorded on his second album, "Demon in Disguise" in 1972. Here is the "Jug band Song", also known as "Doggone Evil"
