A Secret Place

In this short story, Cleve Yarnell, an elderly man suffering from dementia, leaves the house one morning to get a haircut. He drives for miles, lost and unaware that he’s driven well beyond the town in which he lives. At the same time, his wife, Sadie, is meeting with a divorce attorney, firm in her conviction that Cleve will leave her with nothing should he pass away. A business card that falls out of Cleve’s wallet changes everything.
