Every Closed Eye

Zahra closed her eyes and left her mind behind. She thought she slept and dreamed of a fish that swam down a trickling stream until she giggled and caught it in her hands. She had not giggled for a long time. Her husband, Vince, did the unforgivable and she felt with compelling urgency to blow him away with his own gun. The last thing Zahra remembered before passing out was how she chased him from room to room and sent bullets flying. Long hair, gorgeous smile, a beautiful, statuesque and professional woman, at the height of her career and secure in her marriage, made a discovery that turned her world upside down. A failed marriage, an illicit affair and the plot thickens.
