It Was You

Hector's back ached as he shoveled the dirt away from his wife's grave.

He was looking for the golden ring he had given her. Once he found it, he pocketed it and took off.

As he was walking back to his house he heard an ear-splitting shriek and a voice: "Who stole my golden ring?"

He ran inside his house, shutting and locking the door behind him.

There was a creak as the closet door opened and Hector tried to quiet his breathing.

"Who stole my golden ring?" The voice was right outside the closet door.

"IT WAS YOU!"
