Hold Still

2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Kate is visiting Albania with her husband Paul on a much needed break. "Hold still," says Kate, taking a picture as Paul steps onto the hotel balcony. "We'll always be together," Paul responds. Suddenly there is screaming below and a blaring car horn. Kate stares down at the body of her husband lying lifeless in the street. Kate can't accept the truth of her husband's tragic death, and replays the incident again and again, searching her pictures for a clue to what really happened. When she meets the enigmatic Priest at a grief support group, they journey together into a dangerous world of violence and secrets as Kate realizes what Paul really meant when he said he would never leave her.
