I've read several of Scribner's short stories and they all tend to go the way of horror in the end.  This really isn't a love story or a romance, but a creepy and horrible thing to happen to someone.Greg is having a great time with his wife, Carly, on the beach when Carly sees a body in the water.  She goes in to save the person, but it is a child who has drowned.  Right after the little girl is brought out of the water, Greg looks out to the ocean and sees the body of Carly floating in the water.  He tries CPR on her to no avail.  Greg is devastated, and upon autopsy no cause of death is found in his wife.Time passes and Greg goes to college and then to law school and is practicing and doing well.  What transpires next is on the side of supernatural or horror or both.  Personally, I don't know how he could live with what life brings him, but it is just a story.  It's predictable and needs some editing.  The writing isn't on as mature a level as it could be, but the story was okay, but just okay.
