Paul and Melanie Chapman's marriage is in a really bad place and it only gets worse when Paul goes out one rainy evening to get some milk and is gone for over an hour.  When he finally gets back home (without the milk), his wife Melanie is furious with him and over the course of the next few hours, as the night drags by, the two of them rehash old problems.  Paul apologizes for his part in their past disagreements but Melanie coldly tells him that she doesn't want his apology.  The only thing she wants from him is a divorce and she tells him to get out of the house.  He tells her that he is not leaving in the middle of the night but he assures her that he will be gone by the next morning.  But this argument is not exactly what it seems and Melanie is not prepared for the reality of what is about to happen in her life.  This is a short story that didn't take but a few minutes to read but it sure packed a punch.  I highly recommend.
