The current issue of EQMM includes a number of very short stories that pack surprising punch.
For much of this one, set in the middle of World War II, protagonist Carol presents herself the type of woman who would never divorce overweight, overbearing Silas, despite years of mistreatment.
Her veil of concern for the societal norms of the time obscures Carol's feelings and plans from other characters and readers alike until the very last word.
