The Bookmark
Gasping, Tom wobbled onto the grass, the world around him whirling in streaks of green, blue, and white. He managed only a few more steps before dropping the book, falling face down onto it. No one noticed as he quit breathing. If Tom had taken the time to open the book while still in the library, he would have found the bookmark, the one he’d given his wife, Helen, as a souvenir from one of his trips, the one she forgot to remove when returning the book they were both so very interested in, titled: How to Poison Your Spouse.

It's a long story ... 
Wonder if there was the recipe for the antidote as well.
Funny. Maybe it was in the last chapter that Helen tore out.
What a shame they couldn’t have just divorced. Much easier and gentler on the body. Fun story, with a dark side to it.
Dear Tresha,
I guess she paid better attention to the recipe. 😉 Dark humor. I like it.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oooh, good one.
Should’ve got a Kindle… 🙂
Nice and dark.

Perfect story for the prompt. If you’re not careful a longer version of it will end up in the library one day.
Well done.
Aloha,
Doug
