When Broadway actor Jonah receives word

in New York. Now he must decide if it’s still the life he wants….

Excerpt:
Charles got off the freeway and drove
through a business neighborhood and then into a quiet residential neighborhood.
We passed a Giant grocery store and pulled off to the side of the road.
“What’s going on?”
Charles got out, and I followed.
“Is this Uncle Samuel’s house…?” I looked
around. There was a small park across the street and a path into the trees.
“I’m afraid not. How much do you know about
your uncle?” He turned to face me. “I suspect not very much. See, your uncle
Samuel was respected and cared for. He knew every family in town and dealt with
each and every person with a quiet, soothing dignity. It was how he was and
what made him the best at what he did.”
I scratched my head as Charles walked
toward the path. The trees quickly gave way to an open space with freshly cut
grass broken up by tombstones, grave markers, and mausoleums that had to date back
a hundred years or more. “Are you taking me to where Uncle Samuel will be
interred?”
“No… well, yes, in a way, but no. Your
uncle was a funeral director. He worked for the oldest funeral home in town,
and some decades ago, purchased the business.” Charles paused, turning around.
“Samuel handled the funerals for both my parents, and there was no one who
could have helped us through the process more. He was understanding and caring
without being false. Samuel knew how people grieved and understood what they
needed. Your uncle was an amazing man. He retired a few years ago and sold the
business… well, most of it.”
A chill went up my spine. “Most….” I was
seconds from racing back to the car and to the train station.
“Yes. See, this is Ashford Cemetery, and your
uncle owned it. He tried to sell it with the funeral home, but there were no
buyers, so he sold the business to simplify the estate and had to keep the
cemetery.”
I found it hard to breathe, like all the
oxygen had been pulled out of the air. “You’re telling me that my uncle left me
a cemetery? This cemetery?” What the fuck was I supposed to do with a goddamn
cemetery?
