It Worked

She threw his ashes away.
An impulsive act.
Unfortunately, I had suggested it.
As a joke.

She says it worked!
He is not haunting the house anymore.
He was her husband.
She professed to hate him.

I have one awful thought.
If she has regrets
or he finds out it was my suggestion, 
Will I be the next one that gets haunted?

I don't think I'd give it a second thought. If he does show up, deny it!

He has not bothered me yet, I believe I am in the clear.
