TR JORDAN: Negotiable

I write, “Don’t chase after him anymore. He’s shown he can’t handle the relationship you want.”

I forget the revelation and forgive. “Don’t be a victim,” I scold myself.

I fall asleep.

Facing the morning mirror, I say aloud, “He’ll be different today.

“He’ll apologize, and we can try again.”

T.R. Jordan wrote this story after staring in the mirror again.

When I got home, my ungrateful wife wasn’t complaining. I thought hell must have frozen over as I popped a top.

Agitated, she said, “I shot him dead in the backyard.” That mole had her number for over a month.

Glancing out the window, I noticed the gardener face down.
