I am posting excerpts from a short story that I wrote several years ago. In this excerpt from the story, time has passed and Lil and John have married. The children have grown, and Lucy, Lil's daughter, has married Thomas. They have five children and a troubled marriage.
Fourteen years had passed since Lil had caught Lucy and Thomas together. Lucy and Thomas had had three children and rumor had it that he had three additional "outside children" with a woman on the side.
Lucy did not listen because everyone had "outside children " in that town anyway. Lil and John were having trouble in their marriage. Being a christian woman Lil never thought of divorce. They stayed together and somehow managed to raise the children.
