Recompense

Recompense - From the short collection titled Things Left In The Dark

by M. T. Maliha and narrated by Tracy Collier

Grief demands a target.

In the wake of an unspeakable tragedy, a mother and a grandmother are locked in a bitter, suffocating war. The little child they loved is gone forever, leaving behind a void now filled with malice, resentment, and a desperate hunger for someone to blame.

Their accusations are about to shatter against a cold, paralyzing reality.

Someone is going to have the final say—and they're about to learn the ultimate accuser sometimes comes in very small package.
