A SHORT STORY by Andrew Verster
The Wharmbys are a farming family from West Yorkshire who have a mill where others in the district bring their corn and millet.
“He’s not cheap, but he can ask what he likes as he has the monopoly.”
It wasn’t always so. Jervis Downend was the other miller, but his unexplained death two and a half months ago when he fell under a bull-dozer driven by Maureen Bumcombe has raised eyebrows in the community.
The Reverend J Morice Stiff said, when interviewed by the Western Chronicle, “I am not one to cast aspersions, but I’ve known Maureen since she was a toddler at the Tiny Tots Nursery and she is the best bull-dozer driver we have.”
“Actually, the only one,” Polly Hudd corrected.
“Be that as it may, let’s not be diverted, it is whispered that there was something going on between the two of them.”
“Yes, they were engaged to be married.”
“That’s beside the point. We must wait for the autopsy before jumping to conclusions.”
As this story is going nowhere, this is a good place to stop.
