Now with a Five Star editorial review from Readers' Favorite
In the bleak chill of a winter Monday, Packenham Tuck, loath to get out of his warm bed, faces a funeral under a shroud of drizzle and gloom. Detesting the cold, the day, and the somber rituals, with a cynical eye, Tuck navigates the delicate dance of funeral etiquette. As he trudges through the familiar faces and predictable rites, a chilling discovery in the cemetery—a gravestone bearing his own name—upends his reality.
In this poignant and darkly humorous short story, A Place of Rest explores the fragility of life, the weight of social obligation, and the eerie twist of fate that awaits us all. Perfect for readers who relish introspective tales with a touch of the uncanny.
