The Grieving Process by Jason Lea
Jenny found Jason and Wrinkles upstairs, blindfolded, drunk and playing Russian roulette with an unloaded gun. Jason is her husband. Wrinkles is the stuffed dog with which he used to sleep as a kid.
Jenny removed Jason’s blindfold and kissed him on the cheek.
"I miss her too," she said.
