asakiyumeHello there story! You became available without my even realizing it.
Let me introduce to you "A Land of Deepest Shade," in which a wife tries to do right by her dead husband. It is in the most recent issue of The Colored Lens, a wonderful publication that I became aware of when they published![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
barry_king's excellent story "Pythia."
Alas, though, The Colored Lens is a pay-first, then-read electronic publication.
That being said, should circumstances so conspire, it's available here, through Amazon.
A couple of story facts...
The title comes from the shape-note hymn "Idumea" (or "And Am I Born to Die?"):
... and the story had its genesis when I saw a gravedigger, digging a grave at noon, in 100-degree heat, in a quiet graveyard.

A land of deepest shade
Unpierced by human thought
That dreary region of the dead
Where all things are forgot
... and the story had its genesis when I saw a gravedigger, digging a grave at noon, in 100-degree heat, in a quiet graveyard.
