Excerpt from
“Indelible” (memoir in progress):
Jim pounded on the van, jerking the door handle, and
yelling unintelligible words. The screen door slammed behind me as I rushed
outside, fumbling with my keyless entry button to unlock the door. Jim yanked
the door and sagged as the door flew open.
“Honey, what are you doing?” I was concerned we would be
kicked out of our rental cabin for disturbing the quiet neighborhood.
“Won’t open,” he said.
“I know. I locked the doors while I carried in luggage.”
Tears streamed down Jim’s cheeks, and he glared at me.
Our family
doctor had written a new prescription to help level out Jim’s moodiness. I had
hoped the erratic behavior would end, and I wouldn’t have to give him the new
medicine. Reluctantly, I handed Jim a bottle of water and one of the new pills.
