Sai obtained a year’s residency at the university, complete with a house on campus. The job was a dream, but he and Aysha were not welcome in the street of tidy houses.
When Aysha disappeared, the curtain twitching reached tsunami level and seeing their neighbour lifting patio stones and burying something brought almost visceral joy.
The police caught up with him at the home of a friend, where he and Aysha had taken refuge.
The constable was embarrassed, even more so when he got a message to say the skeleton was plastic and had been obtained from Walmart for 9.99.
