A husband in Odessa finds out his wife is having an affair.

He does not confront her. He does not leave. He does not do what men in stories usually do when they find out.

What he does instead is harder to name and harder to look away from. This is a story about a man watching something he cannot stop, and what that watching reveals about love, possession, and the specific ways a marriage can be both broken and intact at the same time.

Short. Dark. Morally complex. No clean ending.
