This is a short story from the point of view of a young woman who's married to a man she suspects of playing psychological tricks on her. Is he crazy or is she? It's hard to tell. He always has an excuse or rationalization, and seems otherwise normal, though sometimes hard on the kids. She claims he locked her in the cellar, but when she goes to open it again, it's not locked. Could it unlock it without making any noise? Why didn't she even try the lock herself to see how much noise it made? Or mention that?Then she asks for a divorce. And several months later her husband reports finding her dead body to the police.Did he do it? She thought he was the man in the ski mask who walks through her back door with a knife in his hand. And so, thinking he's just trying to scare her, turns her back on him to show her contempt.But this seems the act of someone who's insane. I mean, even if you think you know the man inside the mask, when he walks into your house with a big knife, wouldn't you be afraid? I would. I sure wouldn't act like everything's normal and tempt him to stab me in the back. Especially when I already believed he played sadistic psychological games like locking me in a cellar.However, that's the end of this installment of this serialized story.
