Tragic and a brutal twist in the middle there. Very sad but sweet at the same time. And nearly unnoticeable that you were doing a one-syllable challenge!
Very sad. I think poignant would be a good way to describe this one as well. I couldn’t help but wonder, would poor Jill really have done the same for the speaker?
Beautifully done! I jumped when the phrase “I stood over the body” came along.
Minor nitpicks: (1) The second sentence is a question. (2) I stumbled slightly on “I wiped off the dust on the ‘Good Book’”. It could be simplified as “I wiped the dust off the ‘Good Book’.”
