Til Death

By J.M. Snyder

The third day of your honeymoon finds us sitting at your kitchen table, using the knives my parents gave you as a wedding gift to whittle wooden stakes from broken chair legs. I spent my whole life in love with you, and even allowed myself a brief moment of hope that you might return my affection one drunk morning when we crossed over the line between friendship and something more.

Then you went and got married. To a vampire.

When you called me for help killing her, how could I say no?

Til Death

By J.M. Snyder

It’s a little after ten in the morning on the third day of your honeymoon, and I sit at your kitchen table, brand new knife in hand, whittling the end of a broken chair leg into a sharp point.

You sit beside me, sipping coffee as you break another leg off the chair we destroyed to make wooden stakes. You look pallid and wan, as if you didn’t sleep well last night. Remind me why we’re doing this again, you say, blowing on your coffee.

I know you know—you just want to hear me say something to fill the preternatural quiet between us. Because you married a vampire.

I didn’t know…

Lame excuse. And really, it’s too late now anyway. Annaleigh sleeps beneath our feet, hidden away in the basement in a coffin filled with graveyard dirt.
