With a million things running in his mind he only wanted to think of two things, go home and beg Patricia for her forgiveness. If he had to kneel before her just for her to take him back again he would gladly do it in an instant. He drove like a mad man and reached his house in no time. Upon his arrival, he went straight to their bedroom but Patricia wasn’t there, he checked every corner of the house but his wife wasn’t there. He went back to his car and thought hard on where his wife might have been. Then it dawned on him that there was one thing that he hadn’t checked yet. With wobbly knees, he got out of the car and went to the garage. It was locked from the outside so he went back inside the house all the while calling for his wife’s name and then used the door near the kitchen to the garage. The room was very dark so he thought that maybe Patricia wasn’t there and might be in her parents’ house or at the ballet school. He was about to leave but something inside his head told him to turn he light on.

He knew his garage like the back of his hand and so even with complete darkness, he knew where to find the switch. He turned it on, blinked his eyes several times adjusting his eyes to the bright light. Suddenly he saw something from the corner of his eye; he didn’t know why but an intense fear started crawling in his chest. He slowly turned and saw his wife, Patricia hanging from the ceiling.
