Chapter 1 - TO DIE IS GAIN
The day I decide to fake my death is surprisingly ordinary.

The sun rises over Rockland, Maine's sleepy streets. Mrs. Wilson's cat yowls from its perch on her porch because it's hungry, and Jake Harrison's ancient pickup truck sends its exhaust note through the valley.

I stand at my kitchen window, coffee mug in hand, and wonder if anyone will miss me when I'm gone.

"Good morning, sunshine," my husband Mark's voice drifts from behind me, sickenly cheerful.

"Morning," I reply, hoping the tremor in my voice isn't noticeagle. "Sleep well?"

Mark nods, reaching past me for the coffee pot. "Like a baby. You?"

I lie. I always lie. "Oh you know me. Out like a light."

Uh huh. He knows. The truth is, I haven't slept soundly in months. Years. Not since that horrendous night. The night that warped my world, though no one but me seems to rember my devastation.

As Mark busies himself with breakfast preparations, I find my gaze drawn to the knife block on the counter. Five gleaming handles protrude from the wood, a sixh space glaringly empty. No, n ot by knife.
