The Mystery Writer
Debra S. Sanders
Jacqueline shoved through the tightening circle, dropping beside the man’s jerking body. She touched his flushed cheek, flinching at the clammy chill.
His eyes locked on hers, wide with animal panic. Flecks of spittle sprayed her jaw as he clawed at the white shirt beneath his tuxedo jacket. She tried to loosen his collar but fingers seized her arm in a vise, wrenching her closer. His mouth gaped, desperate for air, for life, but all that emerged was thick yellow foam bubbling over swollen lips.
His grip loosened, then fell away as glazed eyes dimmed to foggy marbles.
Jacqueline remained frozen, the man’s shuddering gasps echoing in her skull. People swarmed the spectacle, clamoring for a closer look. In her peripheral vision, white-jacketed servers darted past as cell phone flashes erupted like explosive charges.
That’s when the truth hit, clanging inside her head like a struck gong. Bart James – her whoring, piece of shit husband – was dead.
