Excellent first paragraph, wow! And, ha ha, great ending. It did seem to me that she wasn't very emotional about her loss, and maybe that set me up for the surprise ending. Very visual narrative and a nice flow from start to finish. Thank you, Bill.
It was obvious that something wasn’t quite right about this marriage from the beginning. My first thought was Paul’s confession would have been “I am dying...” But then when I learned “Maureen” was probably a spy, it opened up a lot of other possibilities in my mind. Fun story!

Thank you, Jenise. Yes, Maureen was a little--what's the way to put it?--less than heartbroken. A little to0 matter-of-fact about Paul.
I'm glad you enjoyed The Confession. This was a fun one to write.
A great story, Bill, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. I loved it!
Thanks, Justin. I'm happy with the way The Confession turned out and I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks, Mark. I had lots of fun writing The Confession and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how I was going to end the story when I began it.
Great opening line. I agree with V.C Ackerman, they are both spies. Good job.
Oh, I loved the dead body on the beach she had to move because of the high tide, We have all done a similar thing, but with beach chairs, not bodies.
Thanks, Scott. I want to know what Paul was about to confess, too. ;)
The ocean always moves faster than we think.
Theory time: Whatever agency Maureen/Svetlana works for, they killed her husband so she wouldn't have any outside distractions.
I like that!
If you want to know me … come and live with me !!
Great ending
I'm glad you enjoyed The Confession. Getting to know somebody doesn't happen automatically.
Well done Bill.
Thanks, Dan!
You surprise me at the of your stories. This was one was great. They should turn this story into a movie.
Thanks, Pauline. The Confession would be super fun movie.
Damn man I have so many questions.
I do, too! ;-)
Mysterious with a perfect twist at the end. Loved it!
Thank you, Claire. I had fun writing The Confession and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
