An entry for Margaret Atwood's contest, The FreezeDried Groom

Freeze-Dried Fiction Contest with Margaret Atwood. Where will Sam's fate lead him? Join him in this dark and mysterious tale.

He doesn't even know her name. And she hasn't asked for his, not that it matters. He wouldn't tell her anyway. And it's probably for the best. The less they know about each other, the better. As it stands now, he knows more than he would ever want to know about her and her freeze-dried groom stashed in the unit that he just purchased. Sam wonders if she knows anything about him other than what she knows of his skill in the bedroom, or from what he told her back at the storage units. But then, does it really matter? ~~~ Please read the "The Freeze-Dried Groom" first before reading this entry. It really is a wonderful short story (Margaret Atwood's short story, that is) and I only hope that my little fanfic does it a bit of justice. http://www.wattpad.com/71192313-the-freeze-dried-groom-one-of-the-nine-tales-in Good luck to everyone else who's entered!

It takes a con to know a con. Or possibly, it takes a woman meeting a con to figure out she’s married to a con. This is my entry for Margaret Atwood’s Freeze-Dried Fiction Contest. Take a look at Atwood’s story, THE FREEZE-DRIED GROOM, on which this story is based and then come back to mine. Thanks for reading!
