obviously not the same but it reminded me of the shock I felt reading in Auster's "The Invention of Solitude" how his paternal grandfather was shot and killed by his grandmother, who was acquitted on grounds of insanity.
Good eye! And the real murder this story was inspired by occurred on Good Friday, but I wanted the setting to be cold and snowy, so I didn't use that. I'm gonna post something about he real murder later. It's a wild story.

I’ll have to read that. This premise is something I’ve thought about turning into something longer than a short.
The last name Cortez, figures of Jesus and Mary, and fish for Friday. Nice details.

Setting the story on Good Friday would have drastically changed its overtone. Good job with the story!
Intense :)
That was some strong writing right there, Ray. One of the best I've read on Substack, bar none. Great, great job. - Jim
Damn. That was good.
Wow. I have to reread this again. The opening and closing are great.
