Inspiration: Tom Waits' song Cemetery Polka
Characters: Uncle Bill & his mistress with the wooden leg
_____
The jar sat on the shelf in the back of his closet. Uncle Bill couldn't get himself to part with it.
It's been 6 months since they removed the tumor. He was convinced her was a goner. Everyone was. His soon to be ex wife started spending his money like she'd won the lotto.
The joke's on her. He destroyed the will years ago. He'd make a new one. After marrying his mistress. Hopefully now she could replace that wooden leg. Take a trip back to Puerto Rico to visit her family.
Maybe then he'd get ride of that jar.
