"Two Birds, One Todd," by Karen Harrington, in Shotgun Honey.
This is the second appearance by Harrington in my column this year.
I think five or six flash stories have made it to my best-of-the-week list. This story could probably have been expanded to three or four times its current length, but it wouldn't have made it a better story. All the details you need are here.
Todd comes to clean the pool just as Ava is backing out of her driveway. There is a fatal collision.
Such a tragedy. Imagine how devastated Todd's widow must be. She's the one at the funeral with big dark glasses to cover the last time he slapped her...
I did not see where this clever tale was headed.
