Champagne by Liz Haigh
While doing the weekly shop at the supermarket, Margaret noticed champagne was half price. She decided to buy a bottle, it’s nice to have one in the house for when you have something unexpected to celebrate. When she got home she discovered her husband had died of a heart attack.
Liz Haigh lives in Cheshire, the UK where it rains a lot. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in, Apollo’s Lyre, Eclectic Flash, The Legendary, Linnet's Wings, Foundling Review, Blink, Bewildering Stories, Delivered and other places.
