The Other Mrs.

by Mary Kubica

The state of Maine is home to some four thousand islands. I didn’t know this before we arrived.

I knew every clock in the city. The Peacock clock, Father Time, Marshall Field’s. Four clocks on the Wrigley Building, so that it didn’t matter which way you came at it from, you could still see a clock. But there were no clocks there, on the corner where I was at.
