Three Weeks After Lucas Was Gone, Charles Claimed the House on Maple Street
“Amended notice of claim.
Filed against the estate.”
The date in the upper right corner, in the clerk’s own hand, was three days after Lucas passed.
“He filed this three days after Lucas was gone,” I said.
“I hadn’t even picked out flowers yet.”
Edith brought the wooden stamp down twice on the intake slip.
Thump.
Thump.
