흉몽

The debts have piled up ever since he was laid off, and she now cleans motel rooms around the clock just to keep pace with them. Then her husband turns up at the motel, talking incoherently and clutching a stinking bag full of cash whose origin she can only guess at. The easy course would be to send both him and the money back where they came from and go on with a grim but bearable life; the story asks whether that course is still open to her.
